So here is a pick of the new anvil.
No Idea what it's original use was but it works for me. Having it on the ground was not going to work though so I went in search of a suitable stump to put it on top of. After about a week of keeping my eyes open I found one that would work and brought it home. Now to mount it. The underside of this thing has a hollow that is 5 1/2" X 5 1/2" x 9 1/2" deep so I cut a post out of the top of the stump to fit into it this took care of worrying about it walking on top of the stump. The trick was getting it on top of and mated to the stump. First attempt I tried by my self
yeah that didn't work this thing has got to be close to 300lbs how I got it out of the trunk of my car by my self I will never know. Second attempt I enlisted the help of my wife. We got it up to find that my post wasn't quite square and it wouldn't mate up so dumped it back on the ground and did some trimming. Third try was the charm we got it up on top and it went together the way I wanted it to. Then I realized that I had meant to sink the stump into the ground but hadn't yet. 
So I got my hole dug put it on the dolly and brute forced it over to the edge where I was able to get the stump on edge and walk it to the point where it dropped in to the hole. How I did all this with out doing serious damage to my self I will never know there was a couple of times that I questioned my own intelligence. But it is done and after letting it settle in to place over night I got to play on it this afternoon. I must say this thing is nice strikes result in a dull thud instead of a loud ring and hot metal moves like wet clay. There is no movement or vibration at all. Not bad for free road find from a friend.
