Making a Mobile Anvil Stand | 265lb Fisher Anvil + 200lb Base
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
The ship shop needed a workbench, so I made a mobile anvil stand for our Lady Fisher. Seeing as the anvil is my favourite work space, I wanted it to be heavy duty enough to support the 265lb Fisher anvil, and moveable so I can stow it when not in use. We are in a tiny shop after all…

Špatný. Spousta materiálu a práce k ničemu. Pod kovadlinou má být špalek. Né bedýnka na posypový materiál. Not good. A lot of material and work for nothing. There should be a log under the anvil. Not a box for sprinkling material.

What a wonderful attitude. In fact. It works great. 2 years of forging/moving and 0 issues. Not a good comment. A lot of words and typing for sharing an opinion. Comment boxes not for trolls. Go make something.

I had to squelch several, “how does he know...?” throughout the video. The music, at dawn on a Sunday morning, was yummy. The ad for wrinkle reversal cream that popped up in the middle, not so much. How dare they! Amazing work. Love, Mom
