Hi Ralph,

Thanks for the reply. My question about the vari speed rheostat was 
more for learning than doing. My stock 25 LG works good and has good 
control. I ran across a home built hammer with a truck tranny for speed 
control here,

I never got back to you about the anvil stand pictures. Thanks. I am 
finishing mine up today and looking forward to using that Kohlswa 
anvil. It feels a bit harder that my Trenton.

Beautiful sunny day here in Minnesota. No snow on the ground and temps 
in the 20-30 range. Very nice for Jan although we are very dry and need 
rain/snow bad.

Hope all is well with you.

Bob
