Avadon Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Check this out. I like my anvil on the high side for most work. Just about 1.25" below my wrist. So for striking work and heavier forging I just made this for myself. This gives me about an extra 2-1/8" of height, making the anvil quite a bit lower. It's a fairly easy fix. Now if your anvil is normally to low. Now that's not solved as easily. Usually you have to hoist your anvil and put something under it's feet, or if you have it buried in sand, add more sand. This is 25.25" x 30.5" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkrankow Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I saw something like that called a workout mat made out of dense rubber. That is on the line of "good idea." Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Thompson Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 It looks very easy to trip over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I use a couple of pieces of 2x[6,8,10,12] to stand on. Easier to kick out of the way and warmer in the winter. I guess I should put a plywood cover on then and make them pretty; but usually I just move to a lower anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
