[TheForge] Air hammer anvil height

[Peter Fels And Phoebe Palmer]

I'll second the question.
I keep seeing smiths hunched over so they can see the work when 
operating power hammers. That posture gets to hurting pretty 
quick anymore.
It makes some sense for heavy stock which you would rather carry 
at arm's length, but the rest of the time......Pete F

I'm concerned about the height of the work on the air hammer.  I haven't used it yet so don't really know from experience what a comfortable height from the ground to the work should be.  I'm thinking making the floor too high is gonna do a number on my back when I use the hammer.  Anyone care to weigh in on preference?
