  1. Two, nice workable stands. Don't think I've ever seen a anvil welded at the waste before. The stake stand looks good.

    When it gets light I'll take and post a pic of a fabricated stake stand I made several years ago. But for now, here's my #2 stand. It was made in a weld shop where a meeting was held years ago. I bought it when he closed his shop down. Not sure why it's sideways.

  2. I hope the long time IFI members will forgive me if this has been covered, but I thought pictures of different anvil stands might be helpful for beginners.

    The anvil I use the most is a plywood box, filled with sand. Anvil sits on a piece of plywood and space between the feet of the anvil and top of the box fills up with scale.

    Very solid, doesn't move or bounce, very quite while forging.

    I have 4 others,if there is any interest, and I'm sure there are a lot of good ideas out there.

  3. Very Nice. I've worked with glass blowers and fused glass artist on some projects, but we were always in our separate studios. Always thought there would be a lot of " crossover" techniques working with iron and glass. But never had the opportunity to work with hot glass. Would love to try it someday.
