Years ago, I bought a big, beautiful stake anvil (about 100lb) and a big, 
beautiful swage block (150 lb) as a single auction lot. They were sold 
together because the stake anvil was mounted in the swage block, and the 
auctioneer was not about to attempt to separate them. The bottom end of the 
stake is about 2" square and was driven and no doubt rusted into the 2" 
square in the block. Well, long story short, they are still a single unit, 
although I have tried several times to separate them. I have got some use 
out of them as they are, but each is limited somewhat by the arrangement, 
and the time has come to separate them. This thing has been an albatross for 
more years than I care to admit, and I would be eternally grateful for 
information on how to end the madness.
