April 5, 20179 yr Nice! I did something similar. I should go take a photo and post it. I have my anvil sitting right on the sand. It's easy to raise/lower the anvil by adding/removing sand. It also helps to dull the ring. -m

I'm reasonably happy with it. I'm hoping to get some forge time in on it tonight.

April 12, 20179 yr Author Added a chain and a support brace up top, that i'm also going to forge a hammer / tong holder for this week.
April 13, 20179 yr Was it still loud sitting on sand? A sand box is usually more than enough to take the painfully loud out of an anvil's ring. Looking good. Frosty The Lucky.

Looking good. Frosty The Lucky. it still had a pretty good ring on hit that had a good bit of reverberation. the chain really knocked that down i'm going to stick a couple magnets on the bottom as well. and i might do a thin silicon pad underneath also... i live very close to my neighbors and we're currently on good terms and i'd like to stay that way :P.
April 14, 20179 yr Looks pretty sweet! I've thought about making a sand stand, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Nice work!
