Every angle & point and hole is for a use. I don't think you'd have a 'good' anvil welding it back together. Beating on metal isn't a place for kids, so I'm not sure I understand why someone would cut up a good anvil & make a piece of scrap metal out of it for 'safety', but I wasn't there....

Actually, it was just the sharp tip that was cut off when I got it. So all I have to do is build it out an inch or two with 7018 rod and then bevel it out with an angle grinder. That would be good enough for my use.
It's a kid's nature to play and chase each other around things, so I can see why someone with kids or grandkids might want to cut the sharp tip off an anvil. I wouldn't go to that extreme. I might put a can or something over the tip when I wasn't using it, if I was worried about it.
When my daughter was little, she ran into the edge of a table saw and almost put her eye out, so I guess that's why I'm a little more cautious than others might be. You can tell kids not to play around certain things, but that don't mean they will always listen.
