I just can't find an anvil in my area, certainly not one that I'd want to own. So, I decided to use an old 14# hammer head as the base for a spike anvil. Stake anvils are, as I understand it, one of the oldest types of anvils. This was a relatively easy build that I think would work for just about anyone looking for an affordable alternative to buying a full sized anvil.
