Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 257, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 October 1914 — Anvil from a Steel Rail. [ARTICLE+ILLUSTRATION]

Anvil from a Steel Rail.

An old railroad nail 2 or 3 feet long can be used in the construction of a handy farm anvil similar to that shown in accompanying illustration. Use pieces 2x3 or 2x4 for the stand-

ards to receive the rail', as indicated. Use an iron bolt to hold the top of the legs together, tightening the nuts until the rail is held securely. Pieces of Ix 3 boards brace the standards near the foot. Drill holes through the flange of the rail for punching. —O. F. S., Riverside, Cal.
