A friend showed me his hold down using motorcycle chain. I elaborated on his set up and came up with the design pictured. 

This design allowes me to move the chain along the anvil. The swivel and the treadle make it easy to apply pressure on the chain.

I like it. I have some chain but I haven't made my hold down yet. Thanks for the ideas.

Glad you like it. Here is a link to my Dropbox. A PDF file for the treadle and slide bar plans are there. They are titled "drawing anvil hold down bar" and "drawing anvil hold down treadle".
