Excellent! I'm a carpenter, I have my own shop. I also have a wood drying kiln. I cut down hardwood trees mill the wood, dry it and make tables, cabinets, trim molding etc.. Now I'm integrating metal work into it as well. I'm going to call it "Meddlin wood workshop" Haha. Anyhow, I love this concept! I'm likely going to imitate it but with some adjustments to suit my needs. P.S. pro tip - be careful with your router cord. Pulling it against that open sleeve and making the wrong turn... That's how accidents happen. I got complacent with my Bosch 2.25hp router at full speed and well... I had to replace the shredded cord and the shattered sleeve and mend my fractured pride. When the cord got sucked in it, it spun the router out of my hands in a split second and the whole thing flew across my shop, luckily away from me! So stay safe and keep up the excellent work!

I like the overall design and build. But why not 4x4s instead of 2x4s? Plus I’d add glue but probably won’t make much difference. Hammer and tong holders are needed tho. But again, nice job!

I think you did a great job, though I probably would have changed a few things. First, I would have used a denser and heavier wood like white oak, even though adding to the cost significantly. Then I would have added a steel top to protect it from potential spark hazard. Lastly, a tool rest.

It's a hell of a lot better than a chunk of tree trunk. You designed and built an anvil stand like you wanted. Never mind the detractors, guys who shoot their mouths off over another man's effort, aren't worth the powder to blow them to hell. Well-done, you did a fine job.
@shiro-r4m5 жыл бұрын
I don't really see what makes this stand better than a tree trunk, it's how you mount the anvil that matters. I've made an anvil stand like this when I was younger and it didn't age as well as I would have wanted even though it was glued and bolted together. The mount this gentleman used is good for now but will inevitably come loose with time. A solution for that might be to shim a sheet of rubber under the foot of the anvil to be able to tighten the bolts again so the anvil is clamped to the base.

This young man put a lot of thought and work into making his anvil's base, the routing out of the base was quite unique ---- but (1) He used 2x4 framing pine to make his base, a wood which is lightweight and cannot be hit with a hammer on the ends or corners because the wood will split-off (2) He mounted the base retaining straps around the 2 x 4 base where tool holders will need to be placed, meaning that he will need to place the tool holder lower than normal which cause the bolts holding the straps to injure his fingers or knuckles when he reaches for the tool he needs Safety misses (1) He used gloves until he began to heat and bend the metal strapping then he worked without his gloves (2) He reached across the chop saw blade at 1:13 mark while the saw was in operation (never, never, never, do that ) Suggestion to viewers (1) use 6"x6"x(?) or 8"x8"x(?) hardwood stock, not pine for a base (2) Use an 18" or 24" auger bit for accurate clean through drilling (3) use a good brand wood glue between all sections of the base where wood touches wood (4) use 2"x (?) 10 ga. strapping bands around both the top and bottom of the base and placed to cover/hide the threaded rods (5) use a north/south top and east/west bottom drilling through the base for the threaded rods (6) use 1/2" x (?) threaded rod with washers and nuts receded flush (7) use 1/4" x 3" x (?) leather belt strap arranged/formed into tool holders around the upper part of the base (8) use a square 10 ga metal plate mounted to the top of the base for the anvil to mount on and/or welded to (9) use 2 retractable 4" solid dolly wheels mounted to the base and a removable upper handle for mobility around the shop

It is funny that you mention the time lapse thing. I was just thinking about that today. My buddy just bought a modular house and I did a time lapse of the crane setup and house placement. I may do that on my shop since the framers start Monday and they say it will only take four days to get it all dried in. They are Amish though so I will have to ask if they mind being filmed. I think it is ok as long as they are not the primary object being photographed.

@@WoodNMetalWorkshop A bold statement, anvils can last for many generations. Wood inevitably deteriorates, especially in a work environment. so unless you plan to put it in a museum, no, the base won't last as long as the anvil. Especially with what looks like cheap ponderosa lumber. I was fortunate enough to come across a solid trunk of beech wood that I was able to use as a stand. I used 4 12" lag bolts and two heavy clamp bars to clamp the anvil down into the trunk. The base might outlast me, but it won't outlast the anvil and neither will yours

All of that work wasted on a base made of Fir 2x4 s the softest wood in the universe ... any ash , maple, oak or chestnut , log with floor anchor straps , banded or unbanded would have been a better choice for that anvil , and the fastening of the anvil is wrong , bars and tension bolts is the proper way , but some people like working harder than they need to .
