the RR track is just one of many I mainly use a 4" round 4' tall piece of solid round stock with a 1 1/2" flat plate welded to the top as my main anvil like object. can't afford a true anvil yet
thanks for the comments, had all kinds of help on this one, and hopefully will learn from all the mistakes I made in this one. my main interest is blacksmithing fences and decorative work, but knives are fun and sharp :)
