Try to find ones with good photography and illustrations. I also read several books on blacksmithing from the library and watched an instructional blacksmithing video. I attended a blacksmithing get-together at the Upper Midwest Blacksmithing Association Meeting ( UMBA) which is a member group of ABANA That would give enough room for my small anvil, with some additional space for tools, and maybe even a place for a small vise. There's some nice ones out there!) I decided that I wanted to build it from wood with the top roughly 18-inches-square. I have already seen some GREAT-LOOKING anvil stands. What similar projects have other people done? What materials do I have on hand (or want to spend the money for) The first thing to do is to PLAN the project! This Instructable will take you through the steps I took to build a simple, yet nearly indescructible workbench that can hold up to the abuse of forging and repeated hammer blows. This anvil stand is built from completely recycled materials and features hand-forged steel corner reinforcements and tools holders. While there, I purchased a used 55 pound "starter-anvil" I've been interested in blacksmithing for a long time, but only recently visited a blacksmithing association meeting and demonstration day. My workspace is limited, so I have no room to permanently mount an anvil on concrete, a piece of tree trunk, or other extra-heavy or immovable object.
#Steel sand filled anvil stand portable
It's lighter and more portable than a chunk of tree trunk and can be built to a custom size and shape, and can include additional workspace and tool-holders. No, an "anvil stand" is NOT a yoga position, nor something done at a frat party.Īn anvil stand is simply a place to put your anvil for blacksmithing.
