DIY Anvil Tool Holders for Hardy Tools

[@elmermainville4429]

I made it... as usual. Really enjoying this series. I'm just finishing up my anvil stand too and glad to know I'm on the right track... Thanks Roy!!!

[@dillonmartin5582]

I have been thinking about buying this anvil for a hot minute and was trying to figure out so many things that you have covered in these videos. I can not thank you enough for your help! now i feel much more confident getting into blacksmithing because of your videos.

[@TankedMush]

Your videos are so bloody helpful mate, honestly can't explain how useful some of these tidbits and tricks are. Thankyou so much for making content like this.

[@billflint3369]

Made it.Thanks for the video's for our education and entertainment.

[@Playswithfire3782]

I love that your doing a whole series on this 66lb er. You cant help but love it. When i got mine i looked at it and said, ooh thats ugly, but After doing some Blue paint removal and shaping and smoothing the horn a little better, i love it and use it daily. Anyone whos contemplating buying one needs to just buy it. Worth every penny.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

We're glad that you like the series. We enjoy hearing your experience with this anvil. Have a blessed day! ~Jessica

[@thomasbrighton6159]

I made it. Also want to thank you for shooting this series it’s perfect for someone like me that wants to explore blacksmithing!

[@SodaCityWerx]

I'm just getting into blacksmithing and so glad I found your Channel. Ty for the information and God bless you and your family.

[@leedooley7021]

Hey I made it through all 3 videos😆 awesome job I just bought one of these anvils and have been looking for a good way to mount it. Thank you for going into so much depth with your info on all these videos can’t wait to get mine built

[@dragonUSNr]

I made it. Looking forward to getting one of these anvils. Thanks for the great tips

[@ThatWorks]

Man you sure are making the most out of these anvils :D

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Yes sir gotta get that watch time 😆 hey thank you guys for checking out the video!

[@sw640]

thats the secret of life and happiness make the most of what you have and appreciate the blessings

[@toddamarando4628]

I made it to the end 😀

[@markfryer9880]

Made it. One advantage to adding tools around the anvil stand that hasn't been mentioned is that adding tools and tooling around your anvil increases the total weight of your anvil and stump, which improves it's performance and stops you having to chase it around the workshop.

[@stephenranti173]

MADE IT Roy!!

[@soundmindtv2911]

Finding this series late, but seriously enjoying it! Just need that anvil now ☺️

[@ericberg4522]

Hey I made it! Thanks for this video series.

[@Immolate62]

Hey, I made it. One inch is 2.54 Centimeters (25.4 mm). As a youth, lo so many years ago, I took a minute to know the metric conversions for the most common measurements. A meter is a bit longer than a yard. A liter is a bit more than a quart. A kilo is a bit more than two pounds. Woodworking has taught me the smaller measurements. We use six mm for a quarter inch, 12-13 for a half and 18 for 3/4. This also serves for mechanics, so if I'm not sure if it's SAE or metric 1/2", I'll bring a 1/2", 12mm and 13mm socket. I'm a feet and miles guy through and through, and I remember when the great debate was raging,. But it just makes good sense to learn enough of metric to help yourself, especially when so many cheap tools come from China, and so many great tools come from England and Germany.

[@danielsefcik5715]

I'm about a year and a bit behind your "beginner Shop Setup" series. greatly appreciate these. I'm starting in from a little bit of a different angle so these are informing what I'm doing. I've gotten a 200-pound hunk of mild steel that I will be carving into my anvil. Also, I MADE IT!, all the way to the end.

[@melgross]

I know it’s late for this, but remember that your steel is likely mild, and pretty soft. If you can weld, weld a 3/4” to 1” thick plate of hardenable steel to the striking surface. Otherwise you’ll find it denting right away.

[@20mcarroll02]

Made it. And I did tong and hammer holders on my stump using round pipe...works great, I will try the square tube for my hardy tools.

[@johnhenkel1828]

I made it, I liked it, and it gave me a lot to think about on the stand I plan to build soon. Thanks Roy

[@brysonalden5414]

A very timely idea for me! Thank you!

[@windyhillfoundry5940]

Clever idea Roy👌.

[@holler8594]

Hey i made it. Thanks tor all of the information and ideas you share through your videos. God Bless

[@pjamestx]

Hey I made it! I'm about to head out to the back yard and put the finishing touches on my first anvil stand, this is a really great idea for storing hardy tools that I hadn't seen before!

[@smokehousebbq7350]

I made it. I'm making an anvil stand now, got my first real anvil, this last summer, been in the designing mode all winter, plan is to have mine done this Spring. Enjoy your vids.

[@sladoeii]

I made it. For my mounting I welded hooks to the feet and secured it to the stump with turnbuckles and chain. This left the space under the anvil free for slipping chisels or other hand tools under the anvil body for easy access.

[@rickhandsaker263]

Made it!! Great little idea for Hardie tools. It beats my leather loops.

[@oracle1239]

Hey, I made it! I just built a tong/hammer rack but it's separate from my anvil stands. I'll incorporate something like this to bring my most used items closer. Thanks for the video!

[@jamespittman6476]

I made it!!!!! Thanks for this series giving me ideas on my anvil stand

[@jonathanking9284]

hey I made it! good simple logic on how to set it all up - thanks.

[@redlionforge9173]

Solid idea Roy!

[@GWIRailroad]

Thanks Roy, great layout, to stay organized with!! Wayne

[@anthonybachara6520]

I made it! Really enjoying all your videos. Very informative. Thank you!

[@chargerdemon]

made it love the rustic look of the stump

[@kevintooley7434]

I made it. Great videos. Catching up on missed videos being an essential personnel

[@Jwood88732]

Hey!!! I watch all of your videos to the end…

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Thank you

[@RomansHebrews]

I made it. Thanks for doing this series. I'm not into blacksmithing yet. Trying to learn as much as possible and hope to be into it soon.

[@matthewgray6845]

Hey, I made it! Awesome videos, inspiring me for when I get my first anvil!

[@sw640]

made it, love to see young men that are capable of building things.

[@gadsdenconsulting7126]

Two years late, but I made it! Subbed cuz I love this channel and I'm just getting started!!

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Glad you like the content!

[@royhuffman3070]

I watched all three videos and I appreciate the information I'll be building a stump for my anvil

[@mtyson9004]

Great idea Roy! Thanks and God Bless you guys!

[@junkmonkey4686]

Made it. I really like this idea

[@ka2pbo]

Hey I made it ! Great project. The whole Amazon anvil set up came out real nice. I have to say , looking at those nice crisp edges on the Amazon anvil and then comparing them to the half missing edges on my old Vulcan, I m really tempted to grab one.

[@henrystforge6443]

Hey I made it. No worries there. I watch em all.

[@tomcarlson3244]

I made it. 😀. Great idea for holding hardy tools. I need a few of these

[@danp3796]

I made it ! Thanks for the ideas.

[@TheBottegaChannel]

Made it to the end of the video. Thank you for the tips. I appreciate them. Also, the only dark side of an anvil is the side where a Smith's awe inspiring shadow is cast upon it. As my girlfriend says, " Anything or anyone who falls into the shadow of a blacksmith best be on it's best behavior, lest it be smote soundly; for a smith is a miracle worker and has no time for tomfoolery."

[@mountaincrittercreations2596]

I made it. Thanks for the video. Good info as allways.

[@richardstewart1955]

I made it! Nice job Roy.

[@TheSuperwrenchGarage]

I have watched all of your vids most informative for a novice like me 👍

[@unknown_tanker7294]

made it. Looking good. God Bless.

[@johncatt1867]

Hey I made it, great video and tips Roy.

[@jebsism]

hey i made it and this is a great idea i cant wait to add this to my stump, i feel like it will go well with the existing drive hooks. god bless.

[@suprspi]

Hey, I made it! I really like this method, I might adapt it for my anvil stand.

[@brianfalls5894]

Hey there Roy. I've watched quite a few of these videos showcasing these anvils. I decided to purchase one of the 132 lb anvils today so when it comes in then I'll be making up a new anvil stand for it. I really love the tool holders that you made up. I will have to see about doing something similar when my anvil comes in. Many thanks for some very helpful and creative ideas!

[@MinionsSmithy]

Hey, I made it! Lol! Thanks for the great ideas, Roy!

[@drason69]

Great show Roy! Cool, that you are taking time, to customize this particular anvil set up 👍👍⚒️⚒️😀😀. PLEASE, if your time allows, show your "travel tool holder" , you brought to John Coffee's, at QS 2019. That, was genius !! 👍👍⚒️⚒️😀😀

[@lonesurvivor450]

Hey, I made it. As always, great info! God Bless!

[@hannemannironworks1651]

Hey I made it roy great video!

[@jameshartman5385]

Hey I made it. Thanks for all the hints

[@god910]

I like this series, I found a Vulcan a little bit bigger than the Amazon anvil locally and am doing much of the same stuff as you are to this one. (My first anvil, so base, tool mounts, etc) Keep the ideas coming, I’m also pretty close to y’all... about 45 min NE of Indianapolis. Thanks for all the good info!

[@olliejoles6188]

made it was thinking of options for tool holders that will work thanks for the content

[@gerryarcher2820]

Hey I made it!! Wasn’t hard though. Love watching your videos!

[@Rick_Bagnall]

Hey! I made it! Good video, thanks

[@DavidKirwanirl]

Made it! Want to make this cheers for sharing!

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Very welcome thanks for watching

[@whiskey7959]

Hey! I made it! Great video and advice! Thanks

[@michaelpemantel1970]

Hey,I made it to the end,great video. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@duaneaubuchon9453]

God bless nice job Roy!!!

[@seymourunruh1931]

I made it. Good tips.

[@TheLeatherSniffer]

Made it! Great info as always.

[@divanavitch]

Made it. Great vid.

[@patrickharmon9459]

Hay I made it!!! Lol 😆 enjoy your videos, keep up the good work and God bless 🙏

[@ronaldnickell6110]

Thanks for the tips on the anvil. i have one of these for my shop. I was going to fasten it with a much more elaborate method. Mine is on a tree stump though.

[@larrystrayer8336]

I made it but was in resting my bod. Great channel.

[@lenblacksmith8559]

Looking good can't wait to see you doing some forging on the little anvil see how it goes.

[@scotsnook1648]

The cabinet behind you looks like it could use some stickers. You can have a couple of mine! 😊

[@bjornalansonoutdoors1270]

After watching a few of your videos I have noticed you must have allot of people that want instant learning watching, to me that way of thinking makes no sense,,, if you want to learn something A: go to someone that knows what they are talking about ( which clearly you do ), B: Listen to what they have to say, and C: Pay attention to the entire lesson NOT just a small part of it... People tend to forget, or just don't understand that blacksmithing is an ARTFORM, as is bush crafting, fact of the matter is we wouldn't have bush craft tools ( axes, knives ect ) without those that understand the art of blacksmithing... So thank you for giving tips and tricks to make it easier for those of us getting back into the art, or even those thinking about getting into the art as it is something people have lost sight of and forgotten over time.

[@justins2195]

Channel really helped me love the videos

[@arondennis4810]

Drywall screws are So versatile, lol! I use them a lot also!

[@markfryer9880]

Totally disagree. Plastering drywall screws are crap as they lack true holding power and have a much lower shear point than cabinetmaking wood screws. Carpenter with 35 plus years trade experience.

[@celegear7574]

Made it 🤙🏽

[@jjppres]

Hey Roy, I made it!

[@JamesJones-iy9je]

Great seures.

[@joshmiller8663]

I made it great video found your channel today love it

[@dannyarrowheadstalker3054]

I'd mount my saw, so I didn't have to sway to keep it cutting straight. But great idea for Hardy tool holders!

[@jakeknight6154]

We made it! Have you seen that the Amazon anvil has a 100+ and 200+ pound counterpart? Seemed rather worthwhile for the cost, however I’ve already invested myself in fabricating a fairly large railroad track ASO

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Would you also do hammer loops as well

[@reigninoel]

"Don't try to do maths on camera", now that's some sound advice.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Absolutely :)

[@1ton4god]

I made it. I am building a welding cart and I am going to borrow your idea for the square tubing and cutting it in an angle that's a pretty good idea. I have come up with a pretty cool way to hold all my Vice Crips straight Up & Down. I will be putting that on a video hopefully in the next few weeks. Using tubing and a bearing stop. I like your idea for the cheap Anvil I wouldn't want to buy one. I was curious do you think it would be good? To pour 3 in of lead on the top of the post before you mount it to the Post and 3 inches of lead on the bottom and pour a 4 inch tube down the center of lead? I have that much lid and I figured I could put a piece of square tubing down the middle and cut the blocks accordingly Notch the blocks out accordingly? So the lid would flow through the top to the bottom and then fill the top up?

[@soundmindtv2911]

Did you do a video of forging any hardy tools for this anvil?

[@grayem76]

Hey I made it God bless mate

[@mylarhyrule3752]

Really like this idea... good job! Curious if you think aluminum square tube would work fine? I mean, I know they would be less sturdy, but aluminum is cheaper, doesn’t rust, is easier to work with, and really this piece shouldn’t take much/any wear, right? Oh, and I made it, lol

[@victormcox]

Made it ☺️

[@jamesbrandon8520]

Roy I noticed after the first cut that you was fixing to cut the end of the drop piece off but it is at a 45 degree angle just like the piece you cut off all you needed to do was add 1 1/4” to that square line and you would have had identical pieces, still enjoyed the video though Roy as always have a great day

[@wanderingthewilderness]

Nice idea. Mine set in an old cast iron pan I have in my shop. Lol

[@AnvilandCopperCo.]

Hey I made it but still an influence for some tooling advice again cheers @Roy sir

[@jborgstrom7897]

Rather than spending $$ on Loctite rust converter, go to your local Home Depot or other similar store and get a jug of Kleenex Strip "Prep & Etch". $15 a GALLON. It's phosphoric acid, which is the base for naval jelly and most all rust converters. It converts iron oxide (rust) to iron phosphate (that beautiful black protective coating). Think drywall screws and, if course, the 66lb anvil that Roy did.

[@jborgstrom7897]

KLEEN Strip, not Kleenex.

[@creationsbyed1355]

Hey I made it....lol good video. Thanks 😊

[@hawkbox]

I have a 55kg Accacio anvil I got from a Canadian supplier Princess Auto so these are really handy videos. However we do use Metric up north too, though I noticed the Hardy hole appears to be 7/8" on the bigger one, which is also non standard from what I can grasp.

[@olliejoles6188]

i made it hey great idea i always have hammer storage issues lol i think i have to many

[@jeffery19677]

Hey! I made it!! You are welcome!

[@davidhillman7004]

Hey I made it and I drop in the forge too
