I fancy something like that, not enough work for an anvil but a handy bit of rail would do the job when required.
We have the north west track only half a mile away, think my hacksaw blades blunt though

I like the stand and your anvil with a point. This one is to be used as a bench top tool as I already have another much bigger anvil on a stand. However this has sown a seed of an idea.
How did you cut the rail to make a point?

Its fabricated, the horn is a piece of half round flat bar*, with a 10mm shaped gusset under, all stick welded with some flavour of low hydrogen rod, (cant remember which, too long ago), the hardest bit of the job was drilling for the coach screws to fix to the wood, that rail is tough stuff.
*half round flat is not actually half round, just a flat with a curved surface often used as handrails and railing tops

Ok got that, nice job. I've seen some that have been machined from one section. Unless you have access to milling kit and plenty of spare time cost is prohibitive.
I do a lot of work with Network Rail looking at vibration from power tools. They report that a 14" cutting disc will only make three cuts at the most before it's next to uselessuseless
