Greetings .
This is PART TWO of my viking helmet manufacturing comedy of errors.
Here I make a 'Planishing Anvil'. This is a tool used to smooth the metal after it's hammered. .Normally a large solid steel ball is used, but I didn't have a large steel ball, I just had a fencepost.
I used my radial saw to cut a rough point on the fencepost
Here I ground it down to a rough rounded shape with my Bench Grinder
I squared it up using my radial saw so it would
Stick in my bench vice. I made it square since it was uneven
on top and I thought I may want to turn it. i.e. I could have
squared only two sides but wanted options.
My handy dandy hole marking jig (before I punched the holes in it)
Holes are punched. Now it can be used to mark holes on the frame.
The video. I don't know why there's no preview image.
Rest assured it's just an image of a fencepost.
