Anvils

[slackdaddy1]

When making ****, I am always "heating-n-beating" on the vise, the Tractor bucket, or looking for a convenient place on the truck bumper to beat and bend.
I guess I should really get an Anvil,, do they make em with slots or holes to stick rod in to bend?
where does one buy an Anvil? without breaking the bank?
I am guessing you don't buy a "Made in China" tool you plan on smacking with a 5 pound hammer?

Check craigslist or ask around with local farmers they seem to know who has what. and if you want something cheap to beat on see if you can get your hands on a piece of railroad track.

Maybe look into a blacksmith post vise.

Look up Alec Steele on YouTube and check out his recommendations for beginner anvils. Tldw: Mild steel block based anvil.
