Jim Coke Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Greetings Matto, Sweet set up... Looks like you have things in order and going your way... I might suggest extending the plate on your post vise to include a metal base for the leg with a ring hold.. Looks to me like it will dent your new concrete. You will end up moving the anvil closer to the forge... Have fun and I wish you well... Just an old boys 2c... Forge on and make beautiful things Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njanvilman Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Good advise from Jim. I would accept any suggestions that he puts forth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matto Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 The vise leg is on top of a 3/8 wall pipe that is 5' in the ground. It was placed be for the concrete was poured. The anvil is 40" from the center of the fire it is one step from anvil to forge. It is one and a half steps to the vise and one and a half steps to the power hammer. Also the power hammer is sitting on a 24" deep base and the anvil concrete goes down 16" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaughnT Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Very nice, and I like the attention to detail you put into all the stands. I'm a bit jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matto Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Thanks vaughnT have thought about doing the front legs of the forge in the same style of the vise stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I would definitely consider it, Matto. Or make them match the swage block's stand. All this talk about matching elements in the overall picture..... interior design has never been so manly!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
