monstermetal Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 I am the lucky owner of the only other Grant Sarver tooling anvil (Grants being the OTHER one) I finally got around to building a stand for it.... Sounds like I am going to have to build another one for Grant as well.... Total weight is 430lbs working height is 31.5" One of my die blocks cracked in heat treat so I have to make a new one (or try and con Grant into making several) I think this is going to be a real fine addition to the shop once I get it sorted.... I all ready have plans for some tooling add on's and a material support... Maybe some dedicated V block dies.... sky is the limit... Quote
Nakedanvil - Grant Sarver Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Gad Larry! It looks like a IMPERIAL WALKER! Quote
ianinsa Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 That is so 'Art Deco' you just need to add some funky colour! certainly a trend setter. Ian Quote
Dillon Sculpture Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Where is the power hammer attachment? :blink: Quote
monstermetal Posted July 29, 2011 Author Posted July 29, 2011 I should also say this was the first project using my pattern cutting table... I had some issues with my pattern... it wanted to double back in places but I managed to get all four cut Quote
ThomasPowers Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 That stand *IS* a work of art for that anvil. "Old School Industrial to the Max!" Think about doing the next one in more of a "dirigible airframe" pattern for the cutouts for a "Victorian SF" look Quote
Nakedanvil - Grant Sarver Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 While it does add to the "style", is there any real reason for putting lightening holes in an anvil stand? I'll take mine without the "swiss cheese" please. Quote

njanvilman Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 I think it looks great. I second the idea of some brass overlay. Quote
monstermetal Posted July 30, 2011 Author Posted July 30, 2011 mmm... maybe textured copper? Now we are getting just a bit silly though... this thing is a mule, not a show pony! Quote
Bentiron1946 Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 I like the idea of some brass and copper highlights, nice looking anvil stand! B) Quote
Jeremy Whalen Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 I would love to see the picture for this anviI but the link is dead. Does anyone have a copy they could share? Thanks! Quote
Michael Cochran Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 What is it about anvils with dovetails that's so intriguing? I might have to build one just to have one to show off the next time someone comes by the shop and asks to look around. Quote
Jeremy Whalen Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) Very nice, I certainly agree that it's a work of art! Thanks for sharing it John. Edited October 26, 2016 by Jeremy Whalen Quote
ironwolfforgeca Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Now There's Craftsmanship & artistic work in the same usable tool NICE !!! Quote
JHCC Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 So, there are four dovetailed recesses in the top edge, to take different striking surfaces/blocks? And the photo shows three of them keyed into place? Quote
