VERY nice! I'm impressed! :thup: Thanks for sharing.

So what did you use for the lower wheel, the one with the slight curvature to it. You made no mention of where you got that piece.

Someday......*dreaming*

The lower wheel is from Hoosier Pattern. Down in the price list I listed that, and that price is for all 3 anvils I got. They are really nice anvils. Also, I don't know if I mentioned it, but I built it in about 3 days after work. Probably have less than 12 hours into it total.

I'm hoping to put it to some use on my truck at some point soon. So far I've just done a few gas tanks with it.

The more I look at it the more I see. Is that a bicycle wheel up front and a steel modular wheel for a truck out back?

Its a bike wheel up frontl with race bearings in it. They held up just fine to 50 MPH. The rear is an Azusa minibike wheel.
