When Dad worked at the A&E squad on a B52 wing - he covered 3
wings... the Mechanical shops made him an anvil turned on a lathe
for a round nose (top round bottom flat). and the ?heal? of the
anvil was milled flat. Four holes for 3/4" bolts bored in the
bottom flange.

Haven't seen it in years - someone got it at one time or another.
Likely a grandson. :-)

I use 2" pipe on sawhorses as an anvil to smooth out storm damage to
corrugated roofing.


What do you do about elongated/ripped holddown screw holes?
They're the bane to the reuse of corrugated metal.
