Unforgivun, if you have any clue what the piece of steel you used in your anvil was originally or what it came out of I would really like to find out. I've been looking for just such a piece for many years now. My grandfather used to have one like that for use as a utility anvil. Almost identical, including the side holes for punching/bending use. The only difference being the length of his was about 16 to18 inches instead of 14. It also had radiused edges and was not polished. If anyone recognizes what this part comes from and/or what it is I would truly appreciate it. I hammered my first steel flattening and playing with used framing nails, and such) on a bar if steel just like that as a child. Learning how to acquire one holds great sentimental meaning to me, I've been trying to find out for decades. Thanks

My first time posting and I misfire. Twice! Lol. Meant to thank Avadon for sharing. This is beautiful work. I'm looking for tools in order to begin learning and I believe you have just pointed me to my starter anvil. Thank you again kind sir.
