The height would also be an issue with me. I built my stamping table with a thick triangular top, with 90, 60 and 30 degree corners. The shortest side at 18 inches (roughly 46 cm). I then took 3 2x4 pieces, bolted together in a triangle shape, and set them in the center, at the perfect height to pull over my knees when seated in my work chair. The triangular leg has stabilizers at the bottom, and the 3 2x4s form a very solid pedestal to absorb the vibration from hammer blows to the surface. I can slide leather items over the corners to support working on one side of an item, instead of trying to flatten the piece out on a tabletop. I can punch holes, set rivets, set pricking irons, with my metal anvil plate, or cutting board surface, placed in the center of the triangle, over the leg. It is big enough to hold my 24 by 18 cutting mat, if I need to cut out smaller pieces. It is absolutely, the best thing I have ever made from scratch! I think I am going to steal an idea from your punching block, and screw leather straps around the leg for holding my hammers, as well. I don't have as many (or as nice of hammers as you do), but that idea is golden!
Woiuld love to see more of the stump block. You said it was a solid block. Unsure how it was constructed but gluing 4x4 or 6x6 dimensional beams like an anvil stands is my guess. Love the felt bottom to move/slide and isolate/dampen. The mass block could be thick walled with sand in it. Any details on the pounding board? It is just thick kitchen cutting board?
Thank you for posting this, great idea. I have been wanting to make this exact thing. I wonder if you couldnt just cut two 30cm section of a suitably heavy plank ie ~10-15cm thickness to elevate the punching station a little further. Might not be exactly the aesthetic you are going for, but it would be plenty sturdy besides most of the function comes from the weight of the tree trunk.

wow, beutifull station !. thanks for share
so no noise can be heard from the neighbours below if you have any? why did you create it so low?
some folks sit at their tooling platforms for smaller applications ….. i have a standing one as well …..
also this helps with shock absorption so vibration doesn’t go up your arms & wrists …..
Sweet
