Jr, I don't think there is any doubt but you have the most stuff packed into the smallest area. How do you manage??

Combination swage block stand and hammer rack. The swage part is built to hold the block in all six surfaces.

Heres mine
The big one is kinda cool to have but too heavy to use very much unless you have 2 or 3 apprentices to help move it about

If you ever decide to sell off any of those large anvils or swage blocks please give me a call. I am looking for both.

I seem to have a genetic defect that wont allow me to sell them
I currently have 17 anvils ranging from 25lbs thru 560lbs.
Cant seem to pass up any that go for a reasonable price.
