I love the chicken feeder anvil stand, it's the first one I've ever seen.

Nice piece of steel for an anvil as well, all the depth of steel under the face would really move metal for you.

Nice working setup all round; it shows how a little organization will make a small area work efficiently.

I didn't actually mean to tell anybody anything. I was just making a wistful observation that a LITTLE organization seems more efficient.

Of course now I have an engine hoist and can move heavy stuff organization is less important. (no sense fighting a proven disability now is there?)

Ya, the shop looked like that for a day or two... That pic was taken the day I got my Grizzly grinder and made that new anvil holder. I also put up the plywood dividers that day... so ya, I had to clean up. Funny how it feels like I do less work when my shop is clean... perhaps its because I'm more apt to take the time to put things away... lol.... for a little while, atleast.

Thanks guys.
Rick

I had a friend who used to bug me about my cluttered messy shop until I pointed out that he spent more time cleaning his shop each week than I even got to work in mine!

Default Finally got something to hit on

Does this count? I don't even think it counts as an "ASO" but it's heavy

BTW it is legit. It was the rails that the reactor vessels were brought in on during construction etc.

Now I just need heat. Off to the junkyard.
