forklift forks
« on: April 05, 2009, 07:09:00 PM »
I think I can get my hands on some used forklift forks.  Full size, maybe 150lbs each.
I was thinking of digging post hole, putting fork tip down into hole and pounding into ground, to use as an anvil.  The back edge that goes against the forklift truck is very thick.
Or, any other suggestions?
Thanks, Dan

I read some where on the net about someone using forklift forks for knife making.  I will do some back tracking see if I can find it again and let you know.

Dan I got one. I am planning on cutting it up. And inlay the back side into a stump.<><
