nc_cooter That Anvil is great, and a job well done. I need it to be about 18" at the top of the Anvil so I can bend and get to get good direct hits on the top of the Anvil. about how much does one of them cost? my 12 year old forges with me and That would be great for him.

thanks for the link, I have checked it out and plan to put my 2cents worth in. Right now I am using a one foot piece of railroad track as an Anvil mounted in a big vice to get it off the floor. I would really like to mount it on something but not sure what to mount it on. Whatever I mount it to it needs to be about 12" off the ground so when I mount the Anvil to it The thing will be at the right hight. On rollers would be great to,That makes it easer for me to work I can roll thing out of the way when i'm not using them it keeps the floor clean. Everything I use that will not fit on my woorkbench goes on rollers. IE Vice, Anvil, Forge, Mig and Tig weilders All my tongs and hammers are on a seperate rolling dollie and when I am not using them Ihave a place along the wall where I can get them out of the way. With me leaning over is the only option I am parilized from mid-chest down. When I reach my arms out front of me I fall over. Plus it keeps me from getting a lap full hot metal. your stand up idea was great, They have wheelchairs that stand up. The only problem with that is that they are about 15 to 20 thousand dollars and I would hate to get it into my shop and burn a hole in the seat or a spark on an battery or electric line.When I get the shop The way I like it I will take a couple pictures and let yall see what works for me. I think everyone is a diffrent cercomstance but alot of what I have done can be applied to other situations.

i hope I can get this thred open agian I need some good ideas and have a few of my own that I could share with others with handicaps not just wheelchair bound.

I have joined hoping to get some help. I have just started Blacksmithing and bladesmithing. I have an unusual cercomstance, I am parilized from the chest down. all my tools (Anvils,vice,& forge are 15" off the floor. I will try to explane, try to Picture a man in a wheelchair or one of you sitting in a chair bent at the waist. My forge is high enough for me to sit upright and see in.when I pull the workpiece out of the forge I bend over and start pounding on a piece of steel, I'm sure it's a funny sight. I was a weilder / metal worker before I got injured. I went to a knifemaking event about six months ago and got hooked. I have made a couple Blades and am having a great time doing it but not sure if I am doing it the best way. I am also making my own forge and am forge weilding with not much luck.
