Goods Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I would mount it tight and start working with it. If you find the edges in the way for projects, then change it. You might find the extra space around the base to be a convenient place to stage tools within easy reach. With a steel stand you can weld material back, a bit harder to add wood back on securely. Of course you may want to have plenty of clearance below the hardy hole. Enjoy it, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 The end grain of the stump is also good for dishing leaves and spoons. Also good (in combination with a wood or rawhide mallet) for straightening sections that have been twisted or textured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Hammer Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 leave the stand as big as it is. You'll find it's handle to rest tools on it. You can always move the anvil to one side of it and use the other side to hold hardy tools and things. Great buy on the anvil. Oh, and Chris............a guy I know just picked up 2 anvils at garage sales for $50 each. A nice Sweedish Kohlswa and a Hay Budden. Both in the 120 # range. He's not sure he wants to get into blacksmithing...............took me a year to find my first anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
