Build a solid anvil stand from hardwood stump
I'm creating an anvil stand using ironbark timber from my property. After marking and cutting the stump, I shape it in the workshop for a nice and square finish. Ironbark, is a dense hardwood known for its durability.
I discuss and challenge some common ideas around measuring the height, and whether an anvil should be mobile. I weld and bolt a 5mm metal band around the anvil stand which is useful for welding tool holders on the sides and back of the stand.
To level the stand on uneven ground, I install adjustable feet and fix it to the slab with dynabolts.
The process of using a solid hardwood block involves hard work, but the anvil stand is now a durable piece that will last for many decades. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel. Please subscribe for more content.
