Glenn Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 What is a good working height for a swage stand? Let's measure this in relation to the knuckles when standing, so we can account for the individual blacksmith's stature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten Hammers Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 the base of my swage stand is anvil height. When I stand the swage up, it is of course higher. This is fine with me. Good for many bottom tool operations I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the other dave Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I built my swage stand to have the working surface of the swage at my anvil height no matter which way the swage is placed in the stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yesteryearforge Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Approx 34" tall made from 5x5x1/2 angle block is 18 x 18 x 4 1/2 thick ----another one that size in a factory stand about a foot tall -- the rest are light enough to use on the anvil or table Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
