What are some bases we could make to hold the slab on its side without having to cut into it. We have cement and some CMUs at hand.

We are brainstorming ideas for a base to elevate the anvil Any tips on how to muffle the ringing of the slab?

Would it be worth it to cut the slab and weld the pieces together in a shape that would be easier to work on?

thank you very much ill be sure to try that. Is it possible to round an edge of the slab and use that for curving?

My dad and I went to a metal working shop looking for something we could use as an anvil. We ended up buying a 12in x 12in steel slab 1in thick. We still havent figured out how we are going to set it up. Any ideas on how we can set it up? Also, the slab gets scratched by a file so i dont know if its hardened. If someone could help me, i have multiple questions and could use the help. thank you
