Ok my wife has put a no buy anvil ban on the house untill may. now i have 4 pieces of steel that are 2" thick 8" wide and about 2 1/2' long, if i stack these and weld them together would that be a sufficiant make shift anvil? I do not want to have to wait till may to start hammering on stuff as my forge is 90% complete and will be fired up this weekend. Let me know what you think. Also if you think this would work what have you guys used as an anvil?

im pretty sure this is the same one from ebay. -
I found this anvil on craigslist for 100 dollars. Dont know what kind it is and the only markings on it are 110 lbs. This is the only picture i have its 250 miles away. So any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
