Thanks guys.
@bushy, you will find out that larger anvils do not have bolt on holes.

The last anvil I used was an old friend's on the west coast. He had a rather large anvil held onto a 4' Oak round with railroad spikes. He used it to manufacture custom fitted horse shoes.

I am making a few of these little thing, they will be on display on my table in the Sydney Knife Show next weekend.
I will try to find on scale figurines to accompany them.
The anvil is scale model of a 4 CWT 2 feet long bed English pattern, they do not use screw since they are 400 lbs in weight, they would not go anywhere.

But don't they have a little (square) hole on top to put a small anvil?
