Guys, The thing I'm trying to get a handle on is: if I use some kind of heavy pipe or tubing and cover it with a heavy piece of plate would that be a mistake to use as an anvil? In my simple mind, and limited experiance, if the top plate is thick say 2in plus, layed on top of heavy tubing filled with scrap metal and a small amount of lead wheel weights meled down, is that a screw up...? The lead would keep all ths scrap steel from bouncing around and add weight to the anvil.
I guess the bottom line is, anything will work, but it may not be the best way to go... If I got to go that way, then do it and don't look back. I just thought there were more opinions out there... thanks, have a Merry Christmas!!! AJ
