text: Gearing up here to start making knives and tomahawks. Have a two burner forge coming in a couple of weeks. I have been using wood coals and a hand operated blower along with a piece of railroad track fir an anvil. It was working okay but the track has a rounded top face. This gives everything a bit of curve that has to be worked out. This morning my new 4 cutter surface mill head arrived so I thought why not surface the top of the track to be flat and smooth. I will tell you now I have milled 4110 tools steel easily but this track is hard as hell. It has to be the hardest steel I have ever milled but I got it done. In fact did two but one was with overhead crane rail it is a bit softer and a lot smaller. I have resurfaced big anvils that usually take about 45 min to complete. The train track took two hours just to surface could not take any more than .010 per cut and had to bring it down just over .265 But I think they came out okay I am happy with them.
