caintuckrifle Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Anyone ever seen anything like this before? it looks kind of handy, I just might make one and give it a shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 That shouldn't be hard to make. I'm thinking a more universal holder so a person could use the bottom tool they needed repeatedly.Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McPherson Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) Looks darned handy, a novel way to keep the hardy accessable, AND all your digits. (Boys and girls, notice that the fingers never leave the hand.)And notice that a professional does not use a random, oversized stump: Gasp! It is a finished timber block, sized to the anvil.

KRS Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 John, I think that might be because the Ever Ready will only work if you have a block sized to the anvil Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McPherson Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Or go to the trouble to split off one side of the stump.I personally find stumps to be the worst possible stand to work on and around, and do not see them in old shop photos very often. They are what the public expects in a 'rustic' setting, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpankySmith Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I'm thinking I saw a similar drawing somewhere, same concept as the Ever Ready hardy tool holder but it was actually a hold down tool, meant to hold a piece of stock in place while you were working on it. Same concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 It's probably a Champion anvil stand. All my wood blocks are things of the past, steel stands rule. They're more stable, you can work as close as you wish, they quieten my anvils better than any other technique I know and they're easy to move.Frosty The Lucky.
