The Last Anvil Stands You Will Ever Need!

In this video I am building two custom sand filled anvil stands for my vintage Peter Wright anvils. One is a 353 beast and the other is a stout 188 pounder. My buddy Jacob at Other Dog Design drew up my cardboard rendition of the anvil stand in Fusion 360 so I was able to have Send Cut Send laser out all of the parts. Huge shoutout to Jacob and Send Cut Send for their help on this project.

Awesome construction! Thanks for making the plans available. A couple questions for you... What was the bend angle along the top edge on the side panels? And is it better to have the top plate all welded up to keep the sand in? I was thinking, would keeping the top plate free to "float" on top of the sand help even more with ring, or make it slightly adjustable by adding/removing sand?

Thank you! The bend angle for the 12" stand was 8 degrees and the 14" was 7 degrees. I wanted to be able to lift the anvil and stand as one piece so welded was my only option. @Rigoni Ironworks just did a sand filled anvil stand with the top not welded you may want to check out. Thanks for watching!

After the sand settles that welded top will be a problem

Those stands are solid. With 14 of us using them at camp they never moved. And looked awesome.

Cool project Austin. Really adds some class to your space. The finishing with the painting and your logo took the stands to another level.

Man those look sweet! I love the hammered texture on the brass logo--well worth the extra effort! I'll definitely be keeping Send Cut Send in the back of my mind for future projects.

Thanks Kelsey. Yea that was almost two whole days of hammering to get all the logos done LOL! I think send cut send would be an awesome resource for your builds. Thanks for watching!

WOW! Being old, and requisite old school, I’ve always favored the 1800’s “tree stump” anvil base philosophy, but those things are SWEET! Very nicely done, and receiving the components in a more or less ready to weld state just sweetens the deal! Kind of happened on your channel by accident, but you’ve got a new sub!

Haha I was wondering how you were gonna get those 200lb beauties out of the workshop! Was the machinist's sin welding right on top of a 1-2-3 block?

@HighCaliberCraftsman 2 жыл бұрын

Yep I needed a way to lift it an even 2" so I used a set of cheapies.

@jagboy69 2 жыл бұрын

4 legs is fine if you are on a soft surface, but for those of us on concrete, 3 legs is what you need.

@HighCaliberCraftsman 2 жыл бұрын

Yep I agree. Unless they get bolted down. Thanks for watching!

@kraptastic333 9 ай бұрын

bye bye 1-2-3 block lol. could have welded a tab and pulled em out :) a sacrifice was made

@nicholas_obert 8 ай бұрын

I would suggest pouring some cheap oil or other liquid to fill in the gaps between the sand particles. Also, over time the sand will compact down due to the vibrations, reducing the effectiveness of the base. How about not welding the top plate to allow it to sink in as the sand compacts down?

@HighCaliberCraftsman 8 ай бұрын

There are holes in the top so you can continue to add sand if needed. So far it hasn’t settled at all.

Can confirm, awesome stands! For us non-machinists, what was the crime you committed?

Thanks Justin. I welded on top of the machinists 123 blocks.

Hey bud check out my buddy over at Fireball tool get some of his welding blocks they work like magic I have a bunch of them you will fall in love with those squares by the way you should install a bunghole underneath your anvil and add sand really helps vibration and Noise
