Way back in July 2022 I made some additional anvils for my restored Double Leakey Rivet Press which for some reason I never shared.

A conversation with fellow Guild Member Michael Holland had me on the anvil trail again. We were discussing my Leakey learning experience while making the recent gun shield for the 18 pounder gun. Michael mentioned that he had turned round anvils for his similar rivet press with specific anvils for each spacing. Still having material from one handle of my recycled die holder, I made a series of anvils for small rivets (0.63mm hole).

I also took the opportunity to hot blacken them all. I also intend to make a similar set for slightly bigger rivets (0.8mm hole) which should them allow me to cover most eventualities.
