Anvil tool Setup

[tophand]

I am fairly new here and have some questions. I have my anvil and froge setup and need some ideas on a tool tray. I have included pics of my forge and my anvil. Any help is appreciated.

I'm going to use that but make the bottom ring be 36 second ring 20, third ring will have tin cans to store punches, chisel, slits, drifts in.

Note: this is Uri Hofi's shop, NOT mine!

Lot of neat ideas you can glean from the photos. Note the swing away tool shelf mounted on the anvil in the first photo - smart idea.

Nett beat me to the punch there. Best design for tool trays etc. etc. is Uri's. It makes the combination of anvil and stand into not just an anvil but an entire work station. My next big project is to make a stand so I can get maximum use out of the design features on my Hofi anvil. It is actually so designed that every hole in the anvil is not obstructed underneath by the rest of the anvil. So you could put stock through the hardy or any one of the pritchel holes and have it go down to the floor! The swing out tool tray would be great and the tray to catch pritchels as well! Who else would have thought of that?

Philip, Uri's thought of everything. He has a swing out a bucket to catch the punches and chill them at the same time - look at the second to last photo!
