Yeah, I thought about securing it to a base, but decided it wouldn't be worth it. I do like the idea, though, of securing it really well to a solid base and making it into a YouTube video. Maybe I should do a video of hammering the "sweet spot" until it breaks in half. If I do that one, I'll be sure to post it here! A more scientific test would include doing the same thing to a forged steel anvil and a cast steel anvil.....but I'll let someone else do that one!
