[TheForge] make shift anvil

[Larry Brown]

Hi

It doesn't have to have that shape, what you want is mass. Buy the biggest 
chunk you can afford and get in your car that has a few flat surfaces. 
Well, at least one. I taught myself using a counterweight from a piece of 
heavy equipment, It had flats and curves and holes and was about # 300, I 
missed it when the machine had to go back together.
I had to find an anvil!
