[TheForge] anvil stand

[Mike Sweany]

somewhere on the web was an article o squaring an anvil stump using a circular saw.
The smith built a 2x4 box for the saw to ride on, squared leveled and tacked to stump then multi pass's were made until the offending inches were removed.

I like the angle iron stand myself


great price. The stamping says
jay> "Foster" with the date of 1842. Top is very flat with no chips on the edges.
jay> It came with no stand and I am curious about what folks are using for bases.
jay> My main anvil is on a tree stump but is a little high and trying to cut a 24
jay> inch stump to the proper height is a tad difficult with the normal radial
jay> arm saw. I have seen anvils on 4x4's or 6x6's banded together with steel
jay> strapping.
jay> 
jay> What other possibilities are there? What do people recommend? The floor of
jay> my shop is concrete. I'm told if I set an anvil on a stump on the same
jay> location, the floor will eventually crack. True? False? Any solutions?

jay> Jay Mowat
jay> Willow Creek Forge
jay> Erin, Ontario
