JHCC Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 In his shop in New York’s Hudson Valley, Jonathan Nedbor has all his anvils mounted on stands welded up from 1/2” plate. Here’s a representative example: The mounting system is straightforward and effective: two tabs welded one on either side of the base anchor a pair of double-ended bolts, which in turn secure a pair of heavy bars that hold the anvil firmly. (Note the locking nuts to keep the system from loosening up in use.) The height can be adjusted by adding and removing boards between the anvil and the base, and tool holders can be added and repositioned simply by pinching them between the boards and the base. One little modification that Jon’s made on the last few versions has been to eliminate the cutout on the back, under the heel. He explains that he did this after losing one too many drifts rolling away under the base on an earlier version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
