[TheForge] Re: Top of a Broken Anvil

[Brian Reedy]

Excuse me for my ignorance, but is there anyone in your family that
remembers why the anvil was cut in half in the first place?  Also, it seems
to me that tapping a few holes in the bottom, inserting some all thread
(with loctite just in case) and sinking the rods into fiberglass reinforced
concrete would be quite a suitable base.  Failing that, you could taper a
few pieces of half inch round stock on one end, bore holes into the under
side of your anvil and weld the rods into place.  Then drill matching holes
into a tree stump and drive the whole thing into the stump.  Sure, it's
gonna weigh a ton, but it's lighter than concrete and the wood will help
with rebound where the concrete would probably absorb it.
