Poor man’s anvil

[Mtnmac]

While evacuated from the CZU Lightning Complex fire I was staying at a RV park in Redwood City, about an hour from my home in Boulder Creek. A friend suggested I go over to Alan Steel there and wander around their yard. I spend about an hour there and found they had a pallet of short sections of railroad track, painted orange with prices on them. I bought 2 while I was there. When I was able to return to my home, I milled a flat surface on top, leaving a short part on the end alone.

So, is that an OMG big rail, or does your mill fit aircraft ;-)

Glad to hear that you had a home to go back to.

Just looks that way in the photo. It’s a DM-45 bench mill. That used up most of the X axis travel. The rail chunk is 12” long.

Thanks... We feel very lucky. Entire neighborhoods burned up here.
