I dont make stuff. I use my anvil & rail to beat metal truck parts straight . Works for persuading rusty bolts to get the “F” outta my way 👍
All good, sounds like a chunk of concrete or a manhole cover will do you well then.

Concrete wont hold up and manhole covers are non existent where i live. Lol. You should see the rear bumper of my service truck tho 🤦‍♂️😂
Know a guy with a service truck, big old thing. 6k crane and a damn near complete shop. I think the rear bumper is 7/16ths plate! 18" by 102"...beautiful steel work table.
I can see that being real handy!

Who has one in their shop? I want one but finding they are not real easy to come by unless you order a new one online (some are lesser quality). The high quality older anvils cost a BUNCH and you need to find a way to get one shipped to you.
Try looking on Youtube for a video on how to make one from a section of railroad rail, then take your cutting torch to the nearest railroad track!

Seriously, some guys do make them from a section of track rail.

Good way to make a chopped up piece of track. An anvil you will not have. Not even close.
