Peening Anvil
So every since I got hooked on folders, I have struggled with getting the pins peened "just right". I decided to try and make an anvil that was domed a bit so i didn't fight the bolsters or scales getting in the way or me dinging them up trying the sneak the pin as close to the edge as I could.
My solution was a 2 1/2" ball bearing from eBay and a chunk of bronze I had shoved under the lath. Man does it work great! weighing in at just over 10 pounds there's no jumping around the bench and no sharp corners to bite me. next one is going to be a 3 1/2" bearing and a 15# chunk of bronze I have.

That should work. I bet a trailer hitch ball would work pretty well too. It could be clamped in a vise or put into a hardy hole also.

It is a great idea. Does not take up too much workbench space either.
