What is the best steel  plate to weld to the top of a banged up anvil.  I
plan to have the top of the anvil milled down about 1\4 inch, the sides of
the top of the anvil and plate milled to a 45 degree angle and the plate
welded to the top of the anvil where the sides of the plate and anvil meet.
 Also we might bore two holes through the plate so we can also weld through
the holes to thetop of the anvil for extra insurance.  The plate would be
approximately 1"X 5"X18".  Does this method make since or should I just build
the top of the anvil up with welding rod.
