Building a stand for my new anvil. 275 pound peddinghaus.

[@OldHickoryForge]

For those mentioning the low volume. I had my gym headphones in while editing this video so I guess it seemed louder. Sorry. At this point fixing it would mean re editing and uploading the video which I don't think is worth the trouble. I'll keep it in mind for future edits. Im still figuring the whole KZbin thing out as I go. Thanks for watching.

Such a beautiful anvil!

[@dwwoodbuilds]

Pretty crazy crack in the old anvil, but that new RIgid Peddinghaus anvil is VERY nice!! Great job on the anvil stand! Keep up the great videos!

[@Algorhythmz]

Hey man, you should add that slogan to your merch! "Melting metal is cool and we should do it at every opportunity." lol it's great. Keep up the great work brother, long time fan and always looking forward to your next video.

[@SchysCraftCo.]

nice shop. used to watch you when you were outside in the weather ! always enjoy yur vids. cheers for sharing

[@ironhead65]

Love it. Just designing my stand right now. Great idea to put lead. I was going to do sand. I think lead is a better idea. Also love the positive look at the newly made rough surface for the silicon layer! Thanks for sharing!

[@Little_River_Forge]

Awesome project. Man I’m excited to o see you’re getting some sponsors and the channel getting noticed. Keep on keeping on. ❤️🤘🇺🇸

[@rosemaryscialdone7021]

John, how the heck do you manage to move that monster around?

[@UkrainianPaulie]

When dealing with lead, do not drop water/sweat into the molten lead. It will splatter. Seen it happen before. Eye pro at a minimum.

[@robertcalkjr.8325]

Nice anvil and stand.

[@FarmsteadForge]

Nice job, looks like a nice anvil. I'd really like an anvil with an upsetting block on it someday.

[@GammahDamage]

Guess I gotta build my smithy and give this a try 🤙🏾

[@9Antonian]

Hey John, great channel as always, I recommend a channel out of South Africa called Anvil Repairs-interesting stuff he's doing. Thanks again!

[@scrobeaa]

Good video, thanks for sharing

[@USMCRabbit]

Cool!

[@Vikingwerk]

Nice setup!

[@EricaMTB]

Beautiful

[@nathanmcalpine]

Just happened to be holding my phone, so I got the first like! Love your content!

[@beb32225]

good video...thanks

[@blkacid]

You can't beat an anchored anvil. Nothing bugs me more in the shop than an anvil that's walking all over the shop.

[@Billothy69]

This is random but I'm watching forged in fire rn and I just happen to be on your episode lmao. I was thinking the whole time that that dude looked familiar and turns out I've seen your channel before

[@TooTall553]

Outstanding video John it's ashame about your other anvil you did work h__l out of it 👊🤙👋

[@SonoraSlinger]

You been flexing those biceps on your old anvil i see.

[@RoscoPColetraneIII]

John, very nice video. Congrats on your new anvil. Big investment but worth it. I have the exact same Rigid anvil. Almost exact same type of stand I build, silicone underneath. You absolutely do not need those bolt brackets to hold it down. However, I still use them. My reasoning is, if anything were to corrode, loosen, etc. it won’t be until I’m an old man. I don’t want that injury. I’d love to know what radii you used to radius your edges. I have mostly 1/8-inch, and a short section with 3/16-1/4 inch. I’m thinking of drilling a 1/2-inch hole to use when drifting tong bosses. I just can’t bring myself to do it. I’d probably mess it up. Solid work! Great videos! Great products! I use your hammers and flatters almost everyday!

[@billwoehl3051]

Do you have a merchant shop? If so, that phrase "nothing to it" should be on some of your merch.

[@ronmatney5908]

Where did you pick up the new anvil?

[@frankheger5185]

👍👍👍

[@michealdelaura1853]

No drop test? 😂

[@jakebendel5238]

not sure where your microphone went but you lost the volume.

[@robertpegg1585]

Nothin to it really

[@AJwesleyify]

CC please for us who need to see what you say.

[@OldHickoryForge]

I didn't know that was something I needed to do. I always thought KZbin did that automatically. Ill keep that in mind going forward

[@Trevi-gk6oz]

When you turn fifty, don't lift heavy loads (9:13) because you will get hemorrhoids.

[@OldHickoryForge]

Eventually years down the road whenever I build my lifetime shop I'll have a crane overhead to do my heavy lifting. I definitely won't be able to handle anvils like this forever

[@GlowHurtHuman]

Did you say your anvil was "based and redpilled" or did I hear that wrong?

[@OldHickoryForge]

I said the half inch plate I was using to make the base plate was "based and redpilled"

[@brianl4310]

your volume is low

[@darrelleddington7948]

Cracks in the anvil face means you're going to the Devil's place!😈
