If you don't have an anvil then any massive object with a tough flat
surface should do. I have a chunk of railroad track that I use as an
impromptu anvil, for instance.

On my reverberatory furnace, I used my 6" chunk of track plus a 16-20oz.
hammer to set the 3/16" dia. rivets which the lid hinges on.
