I have looked for an anvil everywhere and nothing but ASO near me so far, but I did find a three feet long 5" round 4140 (slight rust on the outer layer, and it has been stored just laying outside on other metal pieces.
So i was wondering if anyone has used a stock this long and stood it on end to use as a striking face.
I plan on grinding a small flat edge on two sides and round two sides and figure a way to harden the face (crazy heavy) this will still leave a 4" striking face thinking of concrete platform and using a larger radius pipe filled filled with sand around the round stock.
any ideas on worth the effort ?
