So I made a Bichorn...

Post by Destichado »

During a recent and ongoing armoring project, I suddenly (with great surprise and much forehead slapping) discovered a maxim.

To whit: a bowl can never be deeper than your longest stake.
Or rather, it CAN! But it can never be worked upon at a greater depth than your longest stake.
Or rather, it CAN! ...but only by straddling it around your stake-holder (anvil) until the level of accompanying frustration exceeds your capacity for patient perseverance.


All these I discovered. That part kinda sucked.
So, having some experience with Making Anvils already, I felt obliged to manufacture a solution.


tl/dr: check out the cool project. ;)

Period solutions are the best solutions, but my poor tool room is turning more into a medieval armoury every day. :shock:


...and I like it.

Hi , Nice T Stake! Is that an old blowhornstake for the top piece? I need a tall T like that for raising. Keep up the good work.

Take care

I have a 5-6' long rock breaker that would make a good stake like that if you need to do some *deep* work...
