Denny, not at all. You do most of the work right over the center, where you have more mass. And if the heel is broken off, just weld on a piece of square tube, to use for your hardy tools. Coyote Forge  |

Even if it is an ASO (anvil shaped object also called boat anchor - used to denote a poor quality "anvil") there could be $10 worth of scrap steel in it. BUY. ron

Hey Denny, Anything to get started with. As a sage here said you just need something to hit on & something to hit with. Even if it isnt perfect you got a start. Just like starting off with a section of RR track, I-beam or other worthy subsitute you are still working and learning by doing. And when time and opportunity present it self you can upgrade and pass your old anvil onto another starting out. Hope you get it & Get busy...Good Luck TIM

Many early anvils were just a block of iron or even stone. It doesn't need to look like an anvil to be one
