power hammer anvil forge and post vise finlly set and running.

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

Good advise from Jim.  I would accept any suggestions that he puts forth.

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"

OK with the niceties! Let's see some work :)

Nice shop space, I could work there comfortably. Looks like you're putting it to good use as well.

Thanks all for the replies. I plan to put the new forge space to good use!

Very nice, and I like the attention to detail you put into all the stands.  I'm a bit jealous.

Thanks vaughnT have thought about doing the front legs of the forge in the same style of the vise stand.

  • 2 weeks later...

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
