[@billcrowell5096]

Yes, very nicely done and probably quite adequate for the task. If I make one myself, I'll try to run the wood pieces through a surface planer to make sure they're flat, smooth and all the same dimensions. Also, I'd coat each wood piece individually with several coats of boiled linseed oil to protect the wood from moisture and excessive swelling. Even with very strong bands, moisture can cause significant and uneven expansion in the wood over the long term. And yes, it is best to NOT glue the wood into a monolithic block for this purpose. Banding is perfect. Alternatively, steel pallet bands can be employed with similar results, but would probably take 3-4 bands for adequate support depending on how hard you're going to hit the work piece on the anvil.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Great! That is a sturdy base! Looks like we added an anvil to our shop on the same days! :'D

[@HABU]

+Black Beard Projects Thanks bro! Great...😊

[@stepcorngrumbleteats7683]

Fantastic !! Mine is a tiny piece of railroad tie that barely spans two blocks tied together with a handle and a X-brace from a cut up car ramp. I haz the envy !!

[@allthings2allmen]

The "beast" looks like a HUGE chopping block! Minus the anvil. But that anvil truly is a beauty! I'm inspired Hassan! A christmas goose could lose it's head over this package!

[@RichardMartin]

That's a beast of a stand! Would make a cool side table too.

[@HABU]

+Richard Martin Thanks man! Beast is the right word!! 😂 yeah, maybe...

[@janbrenek2128]

What kind of wood it is?

[@davidbertelson7026]

cool Anvil stand. I made mine out of two-by-fours glued together with liquid nail and screw together on each layer laying flat 3 foot One Direction 2 foot the next direction. They are heavy and have been in use for 15 years

[@HABU]

+David Bertelson Thanks man! Nice... ;-)

[@Cremantus]

Da geht was... jetzt weiß ich endlich wie ich meinen alten Hackklotz-Baumstamm ersetzen kann. Sauber! Danke dafür!

[@HABU]

+Cremantus Freut mich zu hören! Gerne...

[@tommypetraglia4688]

I kept my eye out for a big old chunk of maple trunk for my uncles 80 lb antique anvil which I finally came across after over a year about 5 years ago snd left me tell to the patina on that beauty is awesome and is the conversation piece of my shop

[@aguilayserpiente]

Fine video. Where can we learn more about the purpose and uses for an anvil stand?

[@sumandl]

Nice... i was doing some black smithing 20 years ago, when my dad use to be a black smith. Awesome stand! 👍

[@HABU]

+SAWBLADE PROJECTS Thanks man!

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Great idea Hassan! Looks super solid & could be even upgraded with tool holders around the base if you feel like it. Cheers

[@HABU]

+Alex 2Q Thank you! Tool holders are definitely coming...

[@MNIronAndGrain]

Very cool, The clamps are very simple and elegant. Great design!

[@HABU]

+Brian Kapke Thanks man!

[@Trollioli]

Could you do the same thing with crank straps? I don't have any way to weld so I couldn't make the straps to hold the wood together.

[@Portrayalpress]

Nicely done. Couple of thoughts - the end grain is not going to hold those spikes well if you really use the anvil regularly. I think you should strap the anvil. Second, the clamps are going to catch a leg when you walk by - consider either making a smooth cover or redesigning the straps to make them less likely to catch something.

[@HABU]

Thanks man! 😉🤙🏽

[@pinkeye00]

What model is that vise? Seems super high.

[@fnafplayer6447]

I have never seen that anvil style before, what is the maker?

[@fnafplayer6447]

Hey question those look reclaimed, are those like scrap pieces of wood you used?

[@mrmicro22]

They look like pieces of industrial pallets, such as when metal is delivered.

[@davidpaylor4637]

Nice work Hassan. Particularly like the tensioners, very good.

[@HABU]

+David Paylor Thanks man!

[@claudreindl7275]

Far better than what some others have done.

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

Interesting to watch and a job done well without one word spoken. Thanks! I am subscribing right away.

[@HABU]

+Jeffry Blackmon Thanks man! ;-)

[@panosdiy]

One more perfect project!!!! Congratulations Hassan!!!!

[@HABU]

+Panos Dimitriadis Thank you!

[@mechanicalmonster2115]

Very neat, any reason you couldn't have just used a stump?

[@HABU]

+AirborneBadass Thanks man! Yeah, I had this wood lying around in my shop...

[@aceoutdoors9225]

What type of metal did you use for the band? How thick?

[@outoftheblue911]

would be an awesome piece of industrial furniture love the ingenuity behind the strap design.

[@HABU]

+outoftheblue911 Thank you!

[@jonasweber5566]

Nice Anvil stand. How much does it weigh?

[@HABU]

+Ju Weber 130 kg...

[@HABU]

Ju Weber sorry, the anvil weights 130kg... The stand is about 50kg... ;-)

[@davesimpson85]

I plan on this style of stand for mine but I was think thinking of cutting a one inch recess into the top to seat the anvil in.

[@HABU]

+Dave Simpson good success! Yeah that's a nice idea!

[@laramiekreeper]

That is a beautiful and awesome stand!!!!!!! Great job Sir!!!!!

[@HABU]

+laramiekreeper Thanks man!

[@romandybala]

Why have you made the base so much bigger than the footprint of the anvil? Would be hard to step up close to anvil.

[@cronesfelicion3758]

very nice btw is your vise homemade?

[@HABU]

+Crones Felicion Thank you! No it isn't...

[@siggyincr7447]

Nice sturdy stand, but you may want to use something to screw the anvil down. Keep it a bit more solid and cut down on the ringing.

[@danthemakerman]

Finally got a chance to watch this, badass build bro!

[@HABU]

+Dan The Maker Man Thanks bro! ;-)

[@edgarderschmied4497]

Ich habe gestern einen Amboss- Untersatz nach demselben Prinzip gebaut, nur hatte ich leider keine so schöne Kappsäge und musste es mit Hand sägen, daher muss ich noch ein wenig die Flächen nachschleifen, sie sind nicht so schön glatt. :/ Warum hast du an die enden vom Flachstahl ein weiteres Stück Flachstahl geschweißt? Toller Untersatz, VG, Edgar

[@StutleyConstable]

I believe he welded the small pieces of steel on the ends of the straps in order to provide space for the heads of the bolts when he tightened the straps. If he were to weld the nuts directly to the straps, he would not be able to get the socket on the bolt head.

[@edgarderschmied4497]

Thanks, thats an idea!

[@HABU]

+StutleyConstable Right... ;-)

[@baconsoda]

You'll be going rightly if you break that. Great job! Best Wishes, Brendan.

[@HABU]

+baconsoda Thanks bro!

[@BulatsSchmiede]

Hi Habu !Dein Untergestell für deinen Amboss ist echt gut !😎🤘

[@i2aspire]

nice work, I want one of those markers where can I get one

[@HABU]

+i2aspire Thank you! Go ahead and build it by yourself... ;-)

[@i2aspire]

I mean the ink pen marker

[@HABU]

+i2aspire ah ok, hehe... the are called "borehole marker" from EDDING... ;-)

[@i2aspire]

Hassan Abu-Izmero thank you

[@mattystewart8]

Be hard to get in over the top of that anvil to do a proper job with blacksmithing. Also the anvil needs to be bolted down so it has no bounce in it. I would have personally ran all the timber through a jointer to get a tighter fit as well.

[@ridaali7577]

Nice stand. But just out of curiosity, what kind of anvil do you have? It looks big enough to be a 300+lb Trenton.

[@HABU]

+Rida Ali Thank you! Yeah it's about 280lb...

[@TheXandoor]

Nicely done, think I may copy it,

[@HABU]

+T Brown Thanks man, just go ahead! ;-)

[@BB_46]

Nice floor design, great video👍

[@HABU]

Thank you

[@aaronklenke5463]

Would ratchet straps work in place of the metal bands you made?

[@HABU]

+Aaron Klenke yeah I think so...

[@vincentrosa9631]

That's a very well made stand👍

[@HABU]

Thank you 🤙🏼

[@conleycustomironwork3227]

Nice anvil about what did it cost you

[@HABU]

+Conley custom ironwork I payed 250€ for the anvil...

Indestructible! and nice!

[@HABU]

+La récup azimutée Thank you!

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

Very very cool arrangement! Interesting ideas! I'll keep them in mind :)

[@HABU]

+Cactus! workshop Thanks brother!

[@dougankrum3328]

...That anvil looks very heavy....good thing you can move it that way...!

[@HABU]

Sure!

[@davidplance8947]

Solid!! NIce vid - digging the strap system you did.

[@HABU]

+David Plance (Rowdy Penguin) Thanks man!

[@sharkthaman9331]

Its funny. I recently bought an anvil and thought of this video. I had a bunch of fence posts laying around but they were remnants of other projects and they were too short to use standing straight up. So i cut them to 12inches and laid them on their side instead. Still works.

[@HABU]

+shark thaMan Nice idea! Great to see that my project inspired you... ;-)

[@gjack2008]

What brand of work pants and shoes do you have?

[@HABU]

+GJack They are from Engelbert Strauss...

[@OnkelJann]

Sehr schöne Arbeit! So einen ähnlichen Ständer werde ich demnächst aus 9 Kanthölzern machen, für einen kleinen Amboss aus einem Bahngleis ;) Wenn Du das Kippeln des Amboss verhindern willst, hol dir aus einem Baumarkt eine Antirutschmatte für Waschmaschinen - die kannst Du mit einem Cuttermesser auf Maß schneiden und zwischen Amboss und Ständer legen. Der Amboss kippelt nicht mehr und der Schall beim schmieden wird etwas gedämmt! ;)

[@HABU]

+OnkelJann Danke für den Tipp!

[@OnkelJann]

Hassan Abu-Izmero sehr gerne! :)

[@HABU]

+OnkelJann ;-)

[@OutlawEdge]

Damn bro that is so badass!!! GREAT WORK!! loved the stencil,and your very talented!!

[@HABU]

+Outlaw Edge Bladeworks Bushcraft and Survival Thanks man! ;-)

[@mitnaturgestalten6091]

feines teil, wirkt recht massiv. :) bist du zufrieden mit der kappsäge? brauch ne neue, mein favorit war bisher die bosch GCM 12 SDE wegen der enormen schnitthöhe. dewalt hatte ich gar nicht so richtig auf dem schirm. grüße und weiter so!

[@HABU]

+Mit Natur gestalten Dankeschön! Die Dewalt ist mein absoluter Top Favorit! ;-)

[@archiarchi5370]

Отлично получилось! Ручки для перемещения нужны.

[@cejayes]

You have the most beautiful selfmade tools ever! Echt eindrucksvoll und fast zu schade fürs Schmieden :D Darf ich fragen woher du den Amboss hast. Ich suche auch schon längere Zeit nach einem.

[@HABU]

cejayes Dankeschön! Den habe ich bei ebay Kleinanzeigen geschossen... 😉👍🏽

[@Zhurak]

might be a pain if you ever need to move it around. otherwise pretty solid build!

[@HABU]

I had to move it to my new Shop 😉🤙🏼💪🏼 Thank you

[@Braz1956]

Very nice stand, good video.

[@HABU]

+Braz1956 Thank you!

[@pacowang283]

Nicely done. I really like the look

[@HABU]

+PacoWang Thanks bud!

[@willwyatt7023]

Why didn't you glue the wood together and skip the straps?

[@HABU]

+Will Wyatt Because that way it's more stable...

[@CarlosMoraisBR]

Ótimo trabalho.

[@HABU]

Obrigado 😁

[@TheRageface13]

that sir, is a work of art. gonna have to try that instead of a stump.

[@HABU]

+Ethan Wayne Cootter Henderson (Cootter) Thank you and good success for your project!

[@gateway8833]

That’s some nice work.

[@LuizxR]

Very Very good 👍 .

[@Balamut7979]

What electrodes used

[@DonDomel]

this rocks !!!!!!!!! Greetings from Poland:)

[@HABU]

+DonDomel Thank you! ;-)

[@TheWiera]

Hello! I follow your idea's in Poland! Nice job!!! P.S. How heavy is this anvil? (In polish anvil = kowadło) :) REGARDS!

[@HABU]

+The Wiera Thank you my friend! The anvil weights 130 kg

[@ashkatjak]

Great idea!

[@HABU]

Thank you

[@DNo-Actual]

How much does it weigh?

[@HABU]

+Dean Hellofs The anvil and the stand together about 170kg...

[@bogomir67]

DAS hab ich auch noch vor mir. Und Fichte reicht?

[@HABU]

Fichte reicht absolut!

[@ahmetsevik]

if you have a router, then you can also make cavity (engrave) of shape of anvil bottom. Then you will don't need nails for keep fix.

[@minnesotaoutdoorsnorth]

that is nice but too much wood on the sides...you cannot even lean over the anvil and have you head directly above your work...

[@HABU]

Sure I can...

[@Davewagon]

Great work and great videos Habu, have another subscription! You'll be at 20k soon!

[@HABU]

+Davewagon Thank you! Really appreciate it!

[@minnesotaoutdoorsnorth]

well you may be able to but your posture will not be correct...let me clarify....you do not want to lean over, your back will be sore after 1 hr...this is what they teach you in blacksmith class which I took years ago...

[@ohyeahthatsright3155]

Gary voigt ,it may be for a person who prefers that height. Very nice looking work.

[@TJSWOODWORKINGSHOP]

Very nicely done my friend awesome job bro :)

[@HABU]

+TJ'S WOODWORKING SHOP Thanks bro!

+beauxtx1959 Thank you! ;-)

[@bigmang7262]

Can someone say where I can buy an anvil from?

[@bigboibunz]

Look on your local classified websites. I wouldn't buy them off eBay because the shipping becomes atrocious! Look around at junk yards and also on KSL (If it is in your area). It takes time, but when you find a good one you have a good one for many lives.

[@bigmang7262]

Harry McLane Thanks for the advice dude

[@mrfrankcastle083]

ACME

[@knotweed1953]

Harbor Freight

[@hiddenworldforge374]

German style anvil. Refflinghaus comes to mind; could be cast or forged. Maybe both.

[@thtphatcat23]

Damn, nice job!!

[@HABU]

+Toasty_One Thank you!

[@armandocasasconcosas9651]

hermosa pieza 👍✔👍✔👍✔

[@HABU]

+armando casas con cosas 😉👍🏽

[@Luke-yx5ve]

what you did was well done but the design doesn't make much sense, you wasted a lot of wood when a log would have been fine , you didnt fully pin the anvil down , its too low down for much metal work and the best thing for it would for it to be on a proper stand bolted to the floor

[@HABU]

I‘m sorry man but you’re absolutely wrong in every word you wrote...
