We have often talked about using a soup can forge for heating steel if you dont have a forge but an anvil has always been an issue.  I have looked this over a few times now and theoretically I think it may be the best DIY anvil have seen

DIY $20 Homemade Anvil With Hardie Hole

This video shows a solution for someone who can’t afford an anvil, or who simply wants a DIY solution. In his case, he had a small anvil, but it lacked a hardie hole (square hole in the top to hold tools). So he got some steel and set about making one.

Tanks D ale and please let us know how it goes Bryan!

Yow!  Here is the education I never had!  I will read this in detail soon and try out the process.  I've been damaging many old pocketknives by trying to pound the pin out; sometimes it works, but I've ruined enough that I will try the drill-it-out method.  Thanks, Dale, you've made my day.  --Bryan
