July 31, 200817 yr Some forges and post vises stands that were recently completed. Next comes the side draft hoods and chimneys. Mike Tanner
August 1, 200817 yr Heck I'll follow the truck till one does. Although with gas prices it would be cheaper just to buy one.
August 1, 200817 yr The only thing I see wrong is not one set painted hunter green and gold. Where are they bound for? You do nice work Mike. Well done. Frosty
August 1, 200817 yr Nice work Mike. You keep showing these pictures of anvils, forges, vises, etc. and some ones going to think you are starting a school! How many stations are you setting up?
August 1, 200817 yr Author Thanks guys They are for me It will be seven stations to start with I only have two colors in my pallet / flat black and battleship grey Mike Tanner
August 1, 200817 yr Just gotta add Bright Red!!!! Not that I would ever paint any smithing tool a loud color. Finnr
August 1, 200817 yr Me, I like turquoise trim. I guess it is a hold over from when I was kid growing up in NM. My wife hates it.:cool:
August 2, 200817 yr Author Loaded the anvils and stands after we unloaded the forges and post vise stands. Didnt get any photos but the stands are constructed as steel stumps from 14 " heavy wall pipe with 3/8 plate as the tops. Mike Tanner
August 2, 200817 yr I made an anvil stand out of pipe and it was so loud that I cut a hole in the side near the top and filled it with play sand, then welded it closed. Made a lot of difference in the noise level.:cool:
August 2, 200817 yr I made a rectangular tubing tripod stand for my Trenton and it's surprisingly quiet as is. No sand, rubber, plywood, etc. just anvil on steel on concrete. Frosty
