This is the exact video i needed lol. Thanks Jason!

Thanks J!

Great video! I really like that design!

Thanks man

When you got the torch just right and it whistles through the steel... 🤤

Thanks for the video. I built a similar one and since my anvil was not as heavy, I filled the legs with sand. I am surprised you are not using one of the new cold cut blades.

Awesome video Jason. I think I'll make one tomorrow as I just happen to have some angle lying around and some 1/4" wall square tube. Figured I'd use some 1/2" rebar for the support members. I didn't see what you used. I know it's cheating, but I think I'll use my horizontal band saw instead of my fiber cut-off wheel. That thing is nearly useless. I see an evolution in my future.

nice stand ! I dont have a shop yet I have to drag my set up outside so I got mine on a wood stump and dolly it in and out of my garage to use , but when I get a shop I am gonna do one just like yours ive used some big striking anvils with 3 leg stands like that at our blacksmith association meetings and at my friends forge They work good and you can walk around them easy to work . Good video .

I'm surprised that he didn't use 80CRV2. Just kidding. Jason Knight is an awesome teacher and legendary knife maker.

Your shop needs a nice horizontal bandsaw. It would have made all those cuts accurate and saved you some time. Nice stand!

"that sucks, that's a bad day" 😂

Do you ever put oil soaked sand in the legs? Nice stand🤘

ASMR with Jason Knight 🤣

This guys sounds so much like Norm Macdonald sometimes 😄

has welding hood on head but not covering face. close eyes pro welding tip hahaha. amazing video

High mate would this work for a fly press aswrll mate

When I comes to fabrication I'm also a measure once, guess three times and cut lots.

New saw???

It seems to have a loud ring though. I came up with a novel way to dampen the ring. I have no idea how I thought of it but I suspended weights from a rod attached to the underside of the tray. I get no ring at all and it works way better than chains and magnets.

That’s because he didn’t fasten it down yet. My steel tripod with a Sodorfors was held down with 2 sections of chain wrapped around either side of the waist being tensioned by U bolts that go through the base of the stand. Was so solid that when you’d tap the feet of the stand, you’d could feel exactly the same amount of vibration on the face of the anvil. Completely deadened the ring. The mild steel of the tripod will vibrate differently than a chunk of hardened steel, so it is best to mount the anvil as tightly as possible rather than make the anvil “float” with silicon. The steel tripod, when tightly mounted, will have the same effect that a magnet does, just a lot better.

Blacksmith Forge uses silicone rubber under the anvil, and then fastens it down. No ring at all. It sounds dead. I’m going to try that in a few days when I finish my stand for my 132 lb anvil (his is 425 lbs!). He’s doing that too. It’s the best idea I’ve seen for it, but you have to apply enough silicone.

Everyone’s different, I guess, but I really hate friction saws. A 14” carbide cutoff saw is so much better. With a good one you can cut to an exact length, and the angles will be correct.

@JASON please help if you can. Short story I'm a master sheet metal worker journeyman for 18 or 19 yr now. Amateur blacksmith blade Smith. I have never made demascus yet and until the move and re design of my forge I'm not ready to try yet after I get consistent with San mai inset and taco I'll move on to demascus. A freind gave me a gift of a tracker twisted Damascus with Mosaic pin and black micarta handle. Looking at it even though it's beautiful I had to do fit and finish on the blade fix uneven grinds. Few things. We are 99% sure it's a Pakistani knife we found almost an identical blade from a company called poshland based out of u.k and blades bought from Pakistan. It's my first demascus blade and was a gift from a dear friend. But during it's first ususage I noticed it's not holding an edge file digs not skates. Paperwork said made from 1095 &15&20. What would be my best course of action wrap the handle with ice water wrap cloth and use a torch and edge quench it? See if it hardens or should I as carefully as possible add some heat and remove pins and scales and go for a proper quench.? Worst comes to worse I have to remake new scales if the break. What would you do? Please and thank you

Breaking things indicates Gorilla Genes. At least that’s what a friend of mine told me.

Would have better and easier results cutting and coping the corners instead of cutting them at 45
