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

gelandangan, cute! Now its time to take some "in situation" pictures. Maybe a squirrel hammering a sword or cracking open a nut.

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.

gelandangan, you failed to consider anvils made the century before last.

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.
