This is my stand I built for my new 242-lbs Papa Rino Anvil "http://www.incandescent-iron.com/rhan.html"
I have seen a lot of stands made of metal and people would always take flat 1/2" Plate and welt loops and flat 1/2" X 3/16" Stock on edge to hold tongs, hammers and hardie hole tools, this works but a lot of stands have loops missing cause they fell off or got tore of threw use or a bad weld.
So I figured I wanted to make a stand that one guy could lift 50-70bls, had a large shelf, adjustable feet, would only have 10-12 pieces to weld and would not have missing loops after using the stand for a year or two. I also wanted to be able to sell the stand or the top plate or make different configurations.
So I drafted up a top plate and had 15 of the plasma cut at a shop.
A guy can take the top plate and weld up any configuration he wants to; 3-4 legs, shelf or no shelf…… whatever suits him
Below is my preference a wide footed stand with a large shelf. I like to put a chunk off conveyor bet or hard rubber mat under my anvil, I also fill the legs with spray foam.
Show me your anvil stands
in Stands for Anvils, Swage Blocks, etc
