- How to Make a ANVIL STAND using scrap metal. This I a simple build you don't need a lathe, or a mill, just a welder and a grinder, and the willingness to Build Something CooL :-)

Nice vid, music too loud though!
Here in Denmark, it's more common to place an anvil on a big wood block. Much more dampening than steel
"maybe" he had no access to tree stumps ??? (old timers in USA use big chunks of logs also)
i would think it would be better too, his stand is really nice but a wood stomp would dampen the noise ans vibration more
It needs a solid stand all the way to the floor.
They don't have trees in California anymore. They burnt them all down this last year. He would have to import something.
WalkOn Bye Maybe. But most things they did beacuse it was the best to do.. dont think, beacuse its old its bad.
As a pair of micro-machinists we do not have much a need to have an anvil, though we think they are neat, this is our first stop in your shop since you moved out west. Thank you for the welding and safe making of your anvil stand. That stand really looks nice. Lance & Patrick.
Thank you! -- In older videos, you had basement machine shops. -- You and Mr. Pete inspired another basement machine shop in Central Illinois. -- Would you consider a video on any lessons you've learned to keep coolant, oil smoke, steel chips, etc... out of the living space? My wife and I will be grateful!
It's nice to have a video from you, Keep them coming!!!
Fine anvil mounting scheme for bending heated metal, such as tweaking horseshoes and the like. Ferriers will often have an anvil mounted to the back of the truck for just such a purpose. In addition to needing a much larger anvil, not much good for forging billets as the stand will spring and deflect, robbing energy from the billet being struck. Again, depends on the mission and who want's to hand forge anyway. Stable stand, though and I do like the bulk of your body of work along with the tips and tricks. Keep 'em coming, please.
Nice work. But I prefer an old wood log to damping vibrations and sound.
2 things to note if you ever build another one. Fill the legs with sand, it will help absorb to harmonics, also I would add braces connecting all the legs a few inches off of the ground. I think over time that top plate is thin enough to let the legs spread. I enjoy your videos.
Sweet stand Dale. Let’s see a forge next.
I personally do not need background music. It's distracting
How about a video showing best ways to clean the various machines like the lathe, milling machine, ETC.. All the RUclips guys always start with super clean machines, makes me wonder how they clean them!!
Nice stand!
Good build, enjoyed. Keep up the good work
Thanks 🙏 :I have learned beautiful things in years videos. God bless you.
Good to see the videos staring to come after the relocation.
Nice job. I would have omitted the tongue rack, just making a rattle trap. And maybe a spreader between the legs would just add rigidity. But we are all different. Good build.
Not sure if it’s been mentioned. The 44 was the year the anvil was cast (1944) and the 7 under the horn is the weight. Vulcan anvils always dropped the 0. 12 would =120. So a 7 means 70 pounds. Nice build
The music is too loud and distracting during the commentary.
Nice little stand BUT with such a light anvil you need to have hold down bolts and a cross bar over both feet on both sides. This will prevent the anvil from jumping up when striking heavy blows near it's tail end.
The wise man learns from the mistakes of others. The wiser man learns from the mistakes of the wise man. Something to contemplate and incorporate into everyday life. Great video Dale. Never seen anything from Drillmaster that wasn't on its way to the fuckit bucket. Suprised to see yours seems to be ok. Hope it lasts, they generally don't. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Awesome Dale.
Cool video, Thanks! I've never built an anvil stand, or dabbled in Blacksmithing... however, I think If I were building that stand I'd consider filling the legs with sand, or maybe even lead shot. It'd definitely add heft; and damp out 99% of stand ring. The anvil ringing might be another story. Again, Thanks!
First it was Wilton bullet vises were all the rage, now it is anvils!! LOL
Thanks for this video you gave me a alternative to placing my anvil on a felled tree trunk which I haven’t trimmed up yet because it weighs 200 lbs.
Love it.
Dude- Holy Music!!! Blowing my pictures off the walls in the office- Do you have audio mixer issues? new editing software? Great video, but music drowns out your commentary
Very nice stand mate, you did a real nice job, awesome to watch another video from you, cheers Matty
Can you do a video on your Diacro #2? I have one and would love to see it's full potential. Thanks
I did a led casting arond the foot of my anvile -works great .now it sounds and act's like a huge one😊
I'd like to see that. Respond with a pic or two.
@@vicferrari9380
I put the anvil in a car rim that i seald the holes on . filld it over the foot of the anvil with lead.and cut out in the rim for hammers and tongs...a stack of rims 14-13-14" done..😎
Glad to see you putting out content. Also cool to see some of my other favorite channels are watching your content as well.
I've got one that needs new legs. thanks for the great ideas.
Thanks Dale,
I enjoyed the music in this video. I was also digging the Dyacro bender. I would love to know more about using that.
Personally I would have made the feet bigger so that I could anchor the stand to the floor, or like other commenters, use a large log. I do like the stand though, nice work. I don't mind the music, I listen to music in the shop all the time.
Awesome
Video metalworking super! Anvil on a chair (blacksmiths laugh). (Old subscriber).
Made one early this year, almost an identical design as yours. Excluding the hammer rack, might add that after seeing yours
I think you'll find it to be a very noisy anvil. There is no dampening in the stand, maybe more like amplification of the ringing.
A good tip would be to set til anvil on wood and fill the legs with sand.
Even more important: that anvil will jump all over the place when you use it. It is way too small to stay at rest without anchoring.
Try filming this anvil in high speed under use and you'll see how much it moves.
Having a 'jumpy' anvil not only hurts the quality of your work, but it bleeds all the effort you put into your hammerwork into moving your anvil where it should be moving red hot metal.
You know, you have it right when your anvil does not ring like a bell, but just makes a dry 'clack' sound when you use it.
Actually; I'm afraid your hole stand will just jump with the anvil.
Take Rasmus' advice and use a length of tree trunk, or build a stand out of heavy pieces of wood with a hollow in the middle that you can fill with sand.
Your stand should weigh at least as much as the little anvil.
Then anchor the anvil firmly to the stand, and you'll suddenly get twise the effect with the same effort. - and you'll be able to hear what your grandchildren are saying to you.
Great build, thanks for the video.
For a home shop , that needs to bang on something. This will work. For a small home forge, itll take all the power away from your impacts . It needs braced using the concrete floor to backup each blow.
Now lets see you make a horseshoe .Good video ,no standing around talking bs just right down to what your working on.
Nice job. Keep bringing on the cool.
Why in all of these videos do you not have shields on your grinders do you not like safety?
Well made Dale it should last for years.
Alan.
Never liked that color choice for equipment, but love your vids 👍
Nice build, agree music is to loud kind of drowns you out a bit much.
Keep them coming.
Nice little project, maybe now I can get mine off the ground ( hard on the knees ) lol . Thanks !
Anvils should be mounted on a wood block/tree trunk.
If you're doing lots of blacksmithing, sure. For what Dale most likely uses it for, his stand is perfectly acceptable. In fact I'm going to steal the design because my avil is basically there in case I need to beat something in to submission.
@WalkOn Bye if you mean "heat the piece up"... no kidding. Most metal doesn't move very well otherwise.
Lovely old chap. I am wondering if I should get a plasma cutter...... have a grinder but hate cutting with them.
Nice work Dale. I have an anvil just like that except it seems to be harder to lift.💪😁 Maybe that’s because of the lower elevation.
A white anvil stand. You don’t see that often. Lots of black scale will get that turned to dirt quickly.
I am not a blacksmith, but I think you need something to dampen the vibrations down the legs into the concrete. Dense rubber foot pads?
It looks like a 100lb are you sure its not 44Kg = 100lb? I have a 100lb anvil and yours looks the same size. I would like to recommend that you make brackets to hold it down tight to the stand to get rid of the ringing, it will save your hearing.
Nice work!
First you say something about safety of the such stand and than make new by using angle grinder without protective shield. Very logically!
i love your videos! keep up the good work!
I was looking for you to bring out a tree trunk LOL Very Cool Build, the hammer and tongs rack set it off. It's amazing what a man can build with the tools he has. Was that a MIG or FluxCore welder. Having never used either I can never tell. Been looking at a wire welder, for the shop. I have an Old Craftsman AC Stick welder that I used many years ago in the body shop. It is a High Amperage model, and always worked well with 7014 and some 7018 rods.
After rewatching the video, I was able to stop and read the welder screen where it said MIG. Answered that question.
What angle are the legs?
Good tunes!
Looks great better on the toes
You gettin in on the Smithing action now too? Would be sweet to see all the Machinist guys on a striking team together!
Music volume...dito.
Fail Fail Fail
Should be placed onto a wood block/lump of tree trunk - it reduces sound, vibration and stress on the anvil.
I don't know if someone already mentioned, an anvil should always be hung from a tree branch.
You need to make a hold down for the anvil that holds it down hard or it will ring your ears off.
Why not use a cutting torch? Works great..use the grinder for what its for...grinding
Maybe he doesn't have one?
I'm a professional welder of 35 years and we cut with a skinny wheel all the time. Some thinks it's simply easier. I don't care how good you are with a torch you going to have some slag. Slag needs to be removed. The time you spend getting the torch, striker,dark glasses, making the cut, grind/sand the cut.clean and straight. Sometimes it's easier to grab the skinny wheel. Please use great care with a scary wheel. Always have a strong grip on it and never ever ever push it away from you. Like a chainsaw the kick back is violent and beyond your control. I've seen too many tendons, muscles and bones ( don't forget nose cartilage) exposed and cut by them. ER visits suck.
@@vicferrari9380 ive also been fabricating all my life and i refuse to use a grinder with cutoff wheel for the obvious danger..grinders are for grinding
@@mrhp434 Obvious danger? Secure your work, make sure your disk isn't chipped or been dropped (use new if unsure), and wear a face shield. No more dangerous than having a bottle of pure oxygen in the shop.
@@suzukichopper when you have been seriously injured you look at safety differently
"Welcome back to the Shop"? we should be welcoming you back to the shop. Love your videos but since moving to California you have gotten slack not been putting out many videos.
I like it , but bet you I could destroy it in about 10 minutes of use. really don't think it would last long.
Anvils should always be carried in hot air balloons...so they can be dropped on the roadrunner
Dale, Re-subscribing, somehow I lost your sub. All fixed now.

You think fighting with your welder is a challenge. I did a prototype computerized sewing machine years ago that would steer the two pieces of cloth to make a felled seam (double overlap). It worked great for me (and I still have samples of my own work) because I just stuck the material in and let 'er rip. But, when an experienced operator who was trained to do it by feel tried to use it, it freaked them out! All of their motor skills were suddenly wrong. Humans are capable of phenomenal manual dexterity.
FirstxD
WHY ??????????????????
Is my favourite old Sheldon Cooper going to forge something cool? 😎
It makes me sad to see even you taking the guards off the grinders.
And in my humble opinion three legs are probably not the best idea on a top heavy thing like this. I know three legs makes it not wobble on an uneven surface but it also makes it very easy to tip over.
It's 'an anvil stand'
While I appreciate the quick and dirty nature of your fabrication, reaching around in front of a rotating cutoff wheel made me cringe. ... Yikes
An anvil.... grammar rules!
Also, "AN" anvil stand, sorry peeves me.
Not a good music choice. Looks like im in a rave looking at an anvil
Metabo are shit
Go Bosch
