Sam Salvati Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Scored this cast iron stand a few days ago. It is a stand off of an old stone wheel grinder, grinder was scrapped (old thing, poured babbitt bearings), but I managed to atleast save the stand. I set my anvil on top and it is pretty nice. It is a bit hight, so I might end up setting my KMG grinder on it instead, I will have to see. The stand is about 100+ pounds of cast iron. Let not the swords of good and free men be reforged into plowshares, but may they rest in a place of honor; ready, well oiled and God willing unused. For if the price of peace becomes licking the boots of tyrants, then "To Arms!" I say, and may the fortunes of war smile upon patriots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew McKenzie Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Ooooh, NICE! I just finished sinking and concreting a 12x12 wooden column to stand my anvil. I'm jealous.

DJPratt Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Thankfully my dad works in concrete so i had him poor a 26" piece of sonna tube full of concrete when they had some extra on a job floated in a pipe to pick it up by and now i a 900+ pound anvil base! But seriously nice score! ~~DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHendricks Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Looks like how my anvil is set up. My dad got me my first anvil for Christmas, a nice wrought iron 150lb anvil welded to what I estimate to be about 300lb iron or steel cylindrical stand thing. It's neat and heavy as hell, I can barely pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
