  1. I built an anvil in the shop at work by welding section of 2" plate like like you have there, to the top of a 4" round tube, welded a short piece of 4" round tube with 1/2" wall thickness to one end  for a sort of horn, and a heavy tube to the side for a hardy. (intended to bring it home)  Works great, I had said to the boss that we needed an anvil, after seeing us use it all the time for a few  days he bought it from me.  That block you have there looks really solid to forge on

  2. I figure this "anvil" will eventually be part of a sign for in front of my shop, in the mean time its just fun to take to a hammer-in and leave it sitting on the back of the truck, and play the "I dare you to lift that game", I did save the paper paterns in the original and the scaled up size. One very cool other possibility would be to put a door at the waist of it and have a flag to stick in the hardy, and youd have the best mailbox in the neighborhood
