That's cool, I was given a 150lbs. cast iron anvil with steel plating from my cousin, and did the same thing, figured how tall to cut the stump wood to get the perfect hammer height for my anvil. Don't use it nearly as much as you, but when I need it it is invaluable. Here is a picture of it.

Getting ready for the metal shaping class at the shop this week, picked up Peter today from the airport.
Last night Kyle and I made a pedestal for some home-made stake anvils using a couple 45 lb dumbbells and some pipe/tubing, tonight made the round-head anvil and another with a holder for press brake dies....
