so the sledge hammer head on a post didnt last to long. the post split while i was forging. oops. sooooooo question for you steel experts here, would hot rolled A-36 steel be a good steel for a anvil? i can get a 3 inch round one foot or 2 foot long piece for a good price (one foot is 47 bucks and 2 feet is 85 not bad in my opinion) but ill pass on it if its not a decent metal to use as an anvil
