That's very nice, I weld for a living and manufacture a few different tools that I wholesale out. But I don't beat on a anvil for fun..
I do own a anvil, But its a Bridge Anvil.
I will admit there was no pounding on that one, and only a little welding.
I shaped the blade with a belt sander and files.
Welded up the crossguard out of 1/4" x 1/2" pieces of plate steel.
The pommel is a cast steel, auto body repair heel dolly in which I drilled a pair of interlocking holes side by side that the tang fit into, and welded it on.
The grip is wood I glued to the tang and then wrapped with leather boot laces.
I do have an anvil (107#) and have used it to make pieces of armor.
I participated in fully armored, full contact sward and shield fighting for over 20 years until I developed bad tendinitis in both shoulders.
