[TheForge] make shift anvil

[theforge@mailman.qth.net]

I wasn't rebuking Phlip.   Her choice probably makes sense for her 
chosen work, just stating why other peoples choice is a good one also.   
I do demos and use 90-120 lbs anvils because that is what I can 
comfortably put away at the end of a long weekend of forging ( When I 
set up, I often carry two, using old fan belts looped around horn and 
heel as a handle, when I break down my set up,  its one at a time with a 
lot of small stuff in between)    I believe that there is probably a 
ration between work piece size and the most effecient hammer anvil 
combo, as another poster has stated.
