There are many on this forum who enjoy the use of what I know as a "Clarkson Wrench", named after the motoring journalist, otherwise known as a hammer. Now what good is a hammer if you don't have something to hit against? Hence an anvil. Well locally a decent sized anvil costs about $400. I picked up a little 5kg one at the local Gasweld a short while ago for about $25 which I thought was pretty good. Then i came across the holy grail. Being a surveyor on occasional rail jobs I always hope to find a small length of rail to make an anvil from, how cool would that be? After 6 years of looking I still have not found one, found a National Rail sledgehammer head with broken handle in a clump of lantana so that was alright. Finally last week we had council clean-up, one of my favorite things, and what did I find, but the perfect length too, even with some useful looking holes. Was really hard to take back home on the bike though... Shown with a hammer for scale. Cheers Tony

a thing of beauty. Just what I need for my metcalfe kits. A wire brush and some WD40 then some nice blue hammerite. Ya dancer. I'm suitably jealous. Toto
