My paternal Grandfather broke his while playing "shoot the anvil".
Split it horizontally, though. He and his coal miner buddies took it to the mine shop in Dawson, bored holes through the top and bottom halves, and strapped it together with 1/2" X 2" strap metal, and 3/4" bolts.
My brother has it in his shop up at Maxwell, and we still use it.Still rings well, too!
