What my dad used as an anvil was a piece of railroad track about a foot long.  It did not look big at all, but it was heavy as shit,

The indentation on the top of the Anvil is for putting a hole in a piece of metal. You heat the metal red hot, place where you want the hole over the indentation, and hammer a spike into the metal, creating a hole.
