Contest - Design an anvil stand

[Dodge]

Yes. Mine is very similar to that except the for mentioned pin. On the picture, it would be on or in place of the flat plate

Depends how high, but i'll say use "I" beams 10mm thick, and aslong as you want high. Then make a base for the anvil to sit on, weld it all together and walla, an anvil stand. If the ground is concrete and quite smooth it is easy to push along the ground. The edges can be rounded to increase movability.

As for the crowbar moving it, it's archimedes principle. i think he one said "give me a big enough fulcrum and i'll move the world"

You could also use cinder blocks, and just stick your anvil on top.

See anvil stand at: Student Forges in the Shop of Donald Stanley. The site might be useful for those wanting to use a stump.

I will be cutting down a large maple tree this Fall and plan to save a chunk for an anvil base. I will surely try out Mr Stanley's method. Thanks for sharing, blksmth.
