Will a 11 lbs Solid Forged Steel Anvil be good to shape Copper Nuggets Tin Ingot - Bobakata - 01-17-2020

Will a 11 lbs Solid Forged Steel Anvil be good to shape Copper Nuggets, Tin Ingots, Lead Ingots, And/Or Aluminum Ingots? And /or on any.?That\'s a little light, but if those items can be forged by a hammer less than 1lb then it should be okThe general rule of thumb is 1lb of hammer to every 20lbs of anvilSince you aren\'t blacksmithing I think you can get away with pushing that ruleIf the anvil does jump around you can mount it on a heavy steel plate to add mass.Other related question
