Antique Vulcan Anvil #8 - $300 (Missoula).So instead you can use large nails or metal straps to secure the anvil to the base.Īs you can see in the photograph, you can also mount tool holders to the stump. You don't want it bouncing around and most anvils don't have bolt holes. There is zero chance of the stump/anvil moving on you, so you can make the base smaller for more clearance.Īnother reason for wood, block or stump, is mounting the anvil. You bury the stump half-way in the ground, it's even better. And since you are working with the end grain, it will withstand impact more than any other configuration. This way you have plenty of clearance on the sides. The best option is to get a stump about the same size as your anvil near the top, with the base flaring out a bit. (My instructor often complains that we stand too far away from the anvil.) This can interfere with your work when you need to put something vertical up against the side of the anvil, which may be your part or yourself. Plus is needs to be pretty wide so it doesn't tip over. But wood isn't as strong in that direction and the fibers will crush over time. Effectively this means the blocks and the ground itself contribute to the mass of your anvil. This works well because the energy of your blow is transferred into the ground. You could make a tower out of wood blocks, like a Jenga game. So that's an option, especially if you need something portable. This is going to rob you of a lot of your energy.Ī metal stand will flex as well, but not as much as a table. If you put it on a table, the table will flex with each blow.
