How to make an anvil stand

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I was hired to build this anvil stand as a gift for someone. It turned out to be a pretty fun project and was a nice break from dealing with complicated and finicky kitchen knives!!!
I started off with an 8ft section of pressure treated 6x6 lumber which I cut into 22" sections and glued together. After the glue had some time to set up, I bolted some sections of bar stock to it and then welded the corners together. This thing is a chunk and I'm sure it will serve its new owner well.

    Built one similar several years ago. Just went to move it and due to wood drying the shrinkage made everything loose.

    Just wondering why you choose pressure treated? Might be all you can get 6x6 in...

    I could make you one if you want but the shipping would be so expensive it wouldn't be worth it unless you were able to pick it up.

    I never like to see experienced makers not use there angle grinders guard as it can set a bad example for younger smiths. I recommend getting a Dewalt angle grinder as the guard is very easy to adjust. I know because I use a DeWalt.

    Kinda hard to use the flat of the grinding wheel with the guard on lol. Each smith is responsible for their own safety as am I.
