Chunk 'o steel on stand

The legs on the stand are angled more than it looks like in this picture to provide better stability. The ruler is 12". Plywood is under the steel chunk to help deaden the sound. This is a surprisingly handy work surface in the shop. Although slightly softer than most anvils, it is more than hard enough for forging. Decent rebound and all that sort of thing that anvil nuts like to talk about.
