I had fun in the shop today. Awhile back I purchased a generic off brand 66lb anvil for my beginner blacksmithing self. I made a stand from big box over priced 2 x 10 and long lag bolts and some chain to secure the anvil. The boards are sandwiched with construction adhesive and lagged. I threw a skirt on the bottom for more stability and my son and I had fun torching the wood. Applied a big sloppy coat of oil on the whole thing. When I lagged the chain I drew the chain tight by angling the lags downward and sucking the chain tight. It's heavy, solid, now I gotta build a dirt box forge so I can get to forging. I'm starting on the very cheap, the forge will be some boards for the box, fill it with dirt, dig a little hole in the dirt, fish a pipe through the dirt to supply blown air to the coals and there ya got it, a forge for about 50 bucks😊 Here's my Anvil setup.
