Jamie,

    I'm in the process of building a workspace for forging and other
    heavy work as I don't currently have access to a stump, which is
    what many jewelers use. The stump is typically lower than a work
    bench or table in order to get enough downward force for hammering.
    It is also at a height suitable to work at it in a sitting position.
    My plans include using six 3"x3" legs on a 3/4" hardwood base, with
    my anvil stationed on one side. For the other side, I plan to go to
    my local Woodcraft store to find a thick piece of suitable wood for
    hammering and forming. I will also mount a vise to this side for
    holding stakes, etc. 

    If anyone has experience building something similar I would be
    interested to know if this sounds doable. 

Thanks,
Bonnie Cooper
