"the pallet forks on the FEL"
Does your FEL forks have lateral adjustment? If so under cut 'shoulders' (notch) in the stump about 3 or 4" from top. Come in under the shoulders with the forks for point of lift. Before you cut stump height; with relaxed arm and hand into fist, measure distance from knuckles to floor. This is "total" height for stump/anvil, is best/ comfortable position for your anvil work surface.
I found my anvil at flea market several years back, it's about 220 lbs. cast steel, old, single horn but still good and flat (slight chipped edges) with hardy hole. I mostly use one of the many hammer heads (2 1/2lb) my Dad made when he was blacksmithin in his early years (1920s).....bro. has Dad's anvil and other hammers AND his post vice. But I have a 6" mech. bench vise that works good for what I do. I don't do a lot of work on anvil....yet...when I get shop built I plan to get real creative !!!
Gotta roll,
Have a blessed OK day! [img]/forums/images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
