I'm not in full on hunt mode yet. still haven't even gotten my forge pulled together, and I've got the materials, and plan for a decent rail track anvil in mind, but I will quietly persue leads in the off chance something falls into my lap that I just can't refuse.

First attempt = first failure. Where as I did find a source for an anvil. Asked a buddy if there was one in his dad's old dormant shop. There was, but unfortunately, he's not willing to sell. alas, onto the next target.

I've got three lengths of track. 1 that is obviously a wider track, heavier, and shorter than the other two. The other two are VERY well warn down track (think sharp edge on the bottom of the track edge). I plan on turning the shorter peice into a traditional anvil shape with a horn and hardy hole. but the length of the other two would allow me to cut them and put them below the smaller section increasing the overall weight and giving more mass below the anvil. Combining this with a large section of hardwood for the base would stabilize the anvil, correct?

ok, I'm going to be building my first forge, and RR Track Anvil over the summer. My question, besides the obvious (larger working surface, less likely to move while in use) what are the benefits of a heavier Anvil? for example a 150 lb anvil vs a 70 lb anvil?

Dcraven,
Does that technique work well when you're just cutting off a small section (torch cut end) to make a clean cut end? with the cut section being less than 1" long?
