Answer:

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.
