OK. Because of the recommendations here on RCM I bought that anvil from HF. Got it home and then read the thread about looking for used anvils. If the volume of the ring is proportional to the quality of the anvil then this is a good one. And the hammer bounces back nicely too. So, I need to mount this thing to something. And the horn is really rough so I think it needs grinding. Some folks bolt the anvil to a stump and drag that around the shop. Is there something better? Or, rather, are there better mounts for different situations? There's no way to bolt this sucker down and based on the ring may be fairly hard. So it will either need to be welded to mounts or clamped to the mount. Since the horn is gonna get ground is there any particular shape to strive for? And should it be real smooth? And shouldn't the flat surface also be pretty smooth? Thanks, Eric
