I agree with rob if you plan to use the anvil for hot work. But the ASO's work well for cold work. Bending, folding, and riveting is what it does perfectly. I wish I still had mine because I am hesitant to drill rivet half spheres into my hot work anvil. It all depends on what you need it for.

thanks for all your suggestions I've got a pretty good idea of how to do it now.

I just bought a 55lb anvil and I want to secure it to a large block of wood. I don't really know what I am doing and was wondering if anyone could give me a few pointers.
