I was planning on setting the anvil to one side of the plate and with my simple power hacksaw I could not cut the pipe to the proper angles on both ends. I was also concerned that 3 legs straight up would not give me the stability I wanted. The stand is very stable, with the dirt floor leveling was no problem. The overall foot print is a lot wider than the anvil base, I think that gives it such good footing. the back forms a nice shelf I can set tools etc. The cutout in the center lets me get my leg against the anvil when working on the far side, very comfortable. The top is 1" pate and the legs are 4" pipe

There is the backside of the stand, I have plenty of room for tools, and also to mount a work holder if needed

Exactly, a tripod is stable on any surface level enough it doesn't overbalance and just tip over. Dirt is self adjusting so not a factor for a quadrapod stand. If you put it on a concrete floor you'll see what I mean, it'll want to rock.

Doesn't your power saw vise have angle adjustment? Man, that'd suck big time. Cutting angled legs is a piece of cake if you can angle the vise. If you have to use spacers to get the angle it gets tricky.

It looks like an excellent stand, I love having room to lay tools I'm using right where I need them. I have a tong rack on my forge for that very reason.

Frosty The Lucky.
