promotive Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I built this yesterday from material I picked up at the local recycler. I have about $5 in it. I used 4x4 salt treated feet. I used a bolt under the horn at the base to secure the anvil in the frame. It deadens the ring from my anvil but it works very well. I could'nt find a stump so I built this instead.

creek Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 That's a nicely built stand! $5, you can't beat that with a stick, but a hammer difinately! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Falzone Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 ... I could'nt find a stump so I built this instead. That is a great looking stand -I wish I could weld like that (...actually I just wish I could weld ) Just one question ... isn't that a stump in the background Happy hammering! Sam BTW what is the tool on top of the anvil? (...okay ... actually two questions ...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promotive Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 Yes, thats stump in the background. It was pine and too small for my anvil. I was using it to get by till I built something. Good eye! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Dean Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Nicely done, and for $5. Good for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Martin Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 That's almost the best kind of stand, $5, the best is free. Good job. Hope it works well for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Nicely done. Deadening the ring of the anvil is a good thing if you value your hearing. I build a similar steel stand last spring and was surprised how well it dampened the ring. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
