[TheForge] Air Hammer Anvil ?

[Madmike]

Hi everybody,
As I don't want to take the risk of braking the stone crusher tooth (thank
you Jerry for the advice) I was wondering what to put under the ram to top
the cast iron counterweight (I didn't find yet any trailer or truck that can
carry a 2T weight).
I have a 175lbs anvil stamped 'made in USSR' that would love to work a
little but I'm a bit affraid of some kind of horn breaking under the
165~220lbs ram hits, do you think it can do it or do I still need to wander
in the junkyards ?
The anvil is exactly the same than Dan Brock's that you can see here.

If I can follow exactly the design I plan for this hammer I will have a
16~20 inches maximum clearance between the dies when the ram iddles and so I
could use the horn of the anvil that would be at least at 20 inches from the
top die (enough to use a hand hammer).
Well I think that's all for now, thank you all for your help !
Friendly Madmike.
