> I made some bench anvils out of 4140. They are 4"x4"x 12"-14" long.I
>machined two side to a sharp corner and left the other sides alone. The
>material was what is called round- cornered square so there are radiused
>edges and now one sharp square one.
>On one end I sawed a 45 degree angle to make a combination tail or if
>you roll it over a tapered horn. I drilled a 3/4 in round hole on that
>end for hardy tools or for punching.They are oil quenched and seem to be
>about 46 Rockwell or hard enough to blunt a center punch. The material
>is 56 lbs per foot so they are about 60 lbs.
> I use mine on the table or held in a heavy vise. They could be welded
>to a base.They are for sale- $100.00 each plus shipping. I have a lot of
>this material and can make them with other features like drilled and
>tapped holes. Bob
