Here is a fun design for a small demo anvil and swage block. I got those blocks, and figure it won't be too much to make up a heel and horn and peg/weld them on and even add a welded on top of good steel (grind clean, tack, then forge weld). can send them out to the waterjet guy to get the square and round holes cut in them and any other shapes cut out that might be cool. The whole anvil will be mounted with a hinge on the one side and a keeper pin on the other, it can hinge down on it's side to use the swage holes. It won't be huge, so the forge weld will not be impossible with just a regular size forge. can even make the horn heel and face plate all from 4140 or such, so all can be ht'd real easy as well as welded fairly easy. can have some fun and get real artistic with the hinge and stuff.
