How high should my anvil be roughly?


Recommended Posts

I just put my "new" "anvil" on a stump today.  I was thinking that it may be about 4" too tall, (based on the knuckle thing).  After using it for about two hours straight, I found it to be just right for my purpose.  It comes to about wrist height when I'm standing to move metal. The hammer face hits square when I want it to, so I'm good to go.   I'll be working some heavy stock tomorrow, and I'll report back.  (I may decide to lower it a bit)

Seems like that would be hard to adjust though. How heavy is that anvil?

Anvil is 75kg, and they are relatively easy to adjust,

Just tilt the unit on two legs (if you have a helper they can hold it,) if you don't have a helper, I manouver it around  so I can tilt it and rest the anvil's relevant edge against something relatively immovable, then pull out the clip, remove the pin, adjust to required setting, replace pin and clip, repeat on other legs until you are satisfied with its height.
