Make an ANVIL STAND for $30 or LESS | BLACKSMITHING ON A BUDGET

[@lancehughes7740]

Headed to Lowe’s to get all the goods! I think I’ll put some silicone between all the 4x4s and put some holes in the top plate so I can bolt it down when I’m not on the move with my anvil! 🤘

I just subscribed simply because you said “if something is worth doin it’s worth over doing” and that’s a shop energy I can get behind

I was looking for a stand and not spend a fortune and this is the answer. Easy video to follow

[@markflannigan8121]

I'm in desperate need of a descent but cheap stand... and this be brilliant

[@markrobinson1601]

That inspection looked pricey but worth it. Need to find me one of them. Definitely inspired to make one like this. Thanks.

[@anfernee6566]

Those finish touch burning 👌🔥

I run on the general assumption that almost everything can be improved with fire. ;) Thanks for watching!

[@jimsamolczyk3774]

Put some steel casters on the bottom. That way you don’t have to lift it all the time. Thats what i did with mine. I’m 71 and can’t lift that kind of weight anymore. Believe me you will thank me when you get older. Remember the old saying,”WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER!

[@eagleclaw1179]

71 and on the internet? Congratulations!

[@boydhall3880]

That video was a great find for me. I built one and burnt all the wood and taking some of the other suggestions thank you all

[@rosspayne9875]

Pretty smart idea and affordable. I was planning on cribbing something up but I didn't think about lag bolts. I was about to over engineer it lol

[@cajunpipesmoker1519]

Great build!!! Thanks for sharing

[@santina4839]

Brilliant! Thank you!

[@HitmanCustomz]

Just built one like this and I love it!

[@80gritschmidt51]

Awesome RJ! I'm glad to hear it. Thanks for watching and happy forging!

[@aseelabdoh3834]

Thank you

[@bcicav626]

Very nice

[@PS-ck5kv]

Bro you NEED to coat your fiber in the forge with cement. That stuff will kill you if you don't. Hopefully you did that after this video

[@РамзанЭльдаров]

SUPER!

[@sherlock1159]

Hey, just wondering if you ever have to deal with the stand walking on around your shop. I know that tends to be an issue with the lighter stands. Ps if you haven’t already you should coat your forge with rigidizer and refractory cement. It’s about 50$ and is a whole lot cheaper than a cancer treatment. Just looking out for you!

[@fut_bucker6966]

Nice glasses I like them

[@80gritschmidt51]

Hahah, thank you. They're a bit of a trademark of mine. I found them on the side of the road while I was working on a TV show and have kept them ever since.

[@johncarpenter5415]

[@bennie026]

I’m assuming the screws in the 4x4’s are 4.5”. Could you please tell us?

[@vanfleetj1]

My Grandfather had a saying,”If you pickup a newborn calf everyday, you will be able to pick him up as a full grown bull.”

[@maximusmiridius7691]

Now you can use your anvil to fashion a metal chop saw stand

[@davidphillip8986]

Did you think about using threaded rod instead of all the screws? I may build one and try that. you could drill through the whole stack and use 4 rods to squeeze it all together.

[@jbwolfhunter8031]

good idea, but wouldnt it be less stable?

[@Elmojomo]

Do you have a 30" long 1/2" drill bit, and a drill to push it? That's likely the reason for the offsetting and individual screws.

[@shambo7081]

PLEASE LINE YOUR FORGE BEFORE YOU GET HOSPITALIZED BRO 6:03

[@bandiriatraveler8343]

I don't understand why so many people dont line their forges!!

[@TheMrWoodsman]

Very nice, it would look cool with some hammers hanging on the side of it.

[@80gritschmidt51]

Great idea, I may just do that! Another thought I had was to sheath in the spaces in between the cribbing to create shelves. Thanks for watching, I hope you have a great day!

"$9 each at Home Depot"... Wait, what year was this made... Oooooh, it's from the Before Times.

[@ozonephotoman]

[@mplussant]

How bout fastening to the stand?…mobility?…

[@knowledgehunter8919]

Well I live in California so I’m wondering if this is going to be 60 or a $70 project God I hate California
