You'll be surprised how handy it is to have two working anvils by the forge, especially if you're using any hardy tooling.

This is the anvil stand I built last week. The hammer rack wedges the anvil into the stand a little, it's not really tight but does take up the slack.

I was pleasantly surprised how quiet it is, even without sand in the legs, magnets, chain, etc. All in all, I'm pleased with it.

The anvil is chained to my engine hoist ready to load for last weekend's demos and iron pour. Without the engine hoist I wouldn't've been able to get my small anvil in the truck so I'm really happy about finding it at the yard sale for reasonable.
