[TheForge] Treadle Hammer Anvil Stand

[Peter Fels & Phoebe Palmer]

Lynn;
You want as much solid mass as possible for your TH anvil.
If you are going to laminate the elements, orient them vertically and 
weld the heck out of them.100% penetration if possible.
Square tubing will waste a lot of your effort....just too light...pf
