[TheForge] bladesmith anvil

[John Frankl]

Check Don Fogg's website for photos. It is a 4.5" x4.5" piece of square
stock about 2 feet long. It also comes with an adjustble stand for height.
When finishing a blade one does not need the power of an anvil at knuckle
height, nor does one need the back strain of bending over to see one's
fine finshing work. The total package weighs 280#, but the great thing iss
all of that weight is under your hammer, not out in a horn or tail or
legs.
