I've been searching for a idea for my anvil. This is the best stand build I have seen anywhere. I love how you blocked the anvil to the stand (I've always been told not to anchor an anvil down solid , that it could cause breakage. I'm definitely going to build mine like yours. THANKYOU for sharing!
I was ecstatic to see this video! But just all so more just happy to see you were back! About a year and a half ago I inadvertently saw a post your wife made on Facebook I commented and was surprised to find out she was your wife. After reading and hearing about all that’s happened I gave her my condolences and told her I hoped to one day see you back doing these incredible projects that you do. I’m so happy to see you back, Will! And you’re right, you’ve got to just keep putting one foot in front of the other and keep going. My father taught me that in my hard times as well. Most of all I hope you and your family are doing well! Great to have you back!👍🏼
Great job on the design and special touches. If I can make a recommendation to round those corners of the steel plate above the wheels as that will tear up your ankles walking by.
Cleverly designed wheel lift. I was watching and thinking about how bad an idea it is to pound on ball bearing wheels, though the small anvil wouldn’t make that too bad. But when I saw your construction, I realized that wouldn’t be a problem. Very clever.
@@WillMatthews I suffer with anxiety and PTSD so I have learned the hard way what happens if I don’t look after myself. I keep telling myself that 1 day I will build your belt grinder... the only thing stopping me is the control wiring and a lack of space.
excellent demonstration of redhot metals ability to stay still or even bend backwards ....one of the first things I ever made was a scroll over the anvil horn and it kept doing exactly that....took me a while to work out not to hammer it but bend it round instead ...I remember my mentor winking at me when he saw I had worked it out (I wasnt very old)...it looked terrible but it did spiral ....he hung it in the what can we do better next time corner of his forge, There were some things of his in there which made me very pleased with myself ...
just came across your video today mate NICE one i don't have a nice anvil like that, iv only got and old rusty bit of rail track :) i would like to convert into one one day and i love your stand idea that mobile base is a stroke of genius u are a true artisan my friend well done.
WOOOOO! YES! Good to see you again! I subbed cause I saw that Chainsaw Restoration video a while ago, but now its amazing you improved an Anvil stand that can be moved around with ease. IMPRESSIVE! :D
Epic to see you back Will. Life is an utter bastard sometimes but I'm so glad to see you're back. Wishing health and happiness for you and your family in 2021 🤟🏻
What a great coincidence - looking through the subscribed list and was wondering how you are doing... Awesome to see you back man! Missed you and your awesome work!
Here i was, in my subs, looking for something to watch, and out come pops this video. Had me wondering, wait who posted this. Bam, two years hiatus. :)) Whatever it was, i hope it got resolved, either way, good to see this channel active. Always a treat to see old channels revived.
@BKNY FINEST Yes, it Will be harder to transport that stand. But still, you have not changed the momentum respons by loosly chains, just mass that is forced down will do that.
Love the video!! I'll be making one very similar. Thanks for the inspiration. But please take your gloves off when using the drill press. Your making me nervous aha
Hey mate! I saw you use diggers degreaser in the chainsaw video, i figured you must be Aussi! What state are you in? I found your channel and am so pleased to see you're back. Warmest regards, Tom from WA
the idea with the raising casters is great I like that a lot...its a great stand Can I just say though please don't use woven gloves around a wire wheel, there is way too much potential for it to catch the fibres of the glove and ride your arm down through the wheel causing some really nasty injuries and definitely spoiling your month.
What a spectacular design. Curious why you have 2 different length of rods to your pivots though? At any rate, love the design, looks like a million bucks
Cool design although I probably wouldn't have made the lever out of copper, but because I park my car in my garage/workshop I'd have to use that lever mechanism a lot more than he probably would.
Great Job Friend!! I’ll be back!! One question: was the lever to raise & lower the wheels made out of copper?? This was my 1st run thru watching. If it was……..a bit CO$TLY huh?? But CQQL for sure!! The World’s Largest Anvil is 7 miles from me. Please Goggle it!! Also the World’s Largest Horseshoe as well. The horseshoe weights OVER 1000 lbs. See ya & keep up the good work!
The doggy controlling your work , aww so awesome gentle company ♡

Thanks for all the support mate. My wife told me about your post last year on Facebook. Appreciate the thoughts and kind words 👍
Russ.. If you look closely, the Axe is on the back wall 😉 x
I was good with this anvil stand at about 7:30 minutes in. Fantastic idea and craftsmanship.

Well built and congrats to you... because you also gave credits to Jimmy Diresta .. awesome
Good to see you back Will. Excellent work as always.
Fantastic to see you back at it !
Love the simple leaver solution! Works perfectly. Great stuff.
Nice work. Love the design and the craftsmanship. And the dog.
ABSOLUTELY Amazing to see you back at it Will! The stand turned out great! I look forward to more of your projects!
Thank you mate! Will be endeavouring to get more content out!
T
I could NOT figure out wth you were trying to do 'til about 17:15. That's a damn fine build right there.
Like your attention to detail and the follow thru to completion beyond the just good enough to get by with.
Love to watch a master at work!
Somehow I missed this, but it's absolutely great to see you back!
Stoked you are back dude. Don't be too hard on yourself and take a break when you need. Best wishes, Dave
Thanks mate, will try not to be!

I'm sure you'll nut out the control wiring! Space though might be a bit harder to organise. Will have to get creative!
Well I gotta say, 9 pieces of 4x4 sounds WAY better than waiting on a tree to fall, epic fix sir.
Another amazing build ! Well done. It’s great to see you back !
Thanks mate 👍

Was a pleasure watching this build Will. Subbed.
just came across your video today mate NICE one i don't have a nice anvil like that, iv only got and old rusty bit of rail track :) i would like to convert into one one day and i love your stand idea
that mobile base is a stroke of genius u are a true artisan my friend well done.
Good to see you back
A most pleasant surprise to start 2021. Good to see you back at it!
That's a nice anvil, it's got a really nice ring to it. glad you secure it the same way I do mine, I love the ring of a good anvil
Man!!! Near the end I had a laughing attack when that dog looked like it was about to chew your NICE leather work!!!!
Brilliant design young man.👍😎

@@WillMatthews You're very welcome 🐱👍
Well done sir!
Here i was, in my subs, looking for something to watch, and out come pops this video. Had me wondering, wait who posted this. Bam, two years hiatus. :))
Whatever it was, i hope it got resolved, either way, good to see this channel active. Always a treat to see old channels revived.
Glad you had something to watch 👌
Happy to see a new vid after so long 🤟
Min. 14:10.
El perrito:
"No hagas ruido, déjame dormir!"
Jajajaja jajajaja 😆😆
Great to see you back! Keep em coming and I hope this comment finds you in good spirits.
Yes, doing well and glad to be back!
The hell you've been?! Whatever the case is, the king hath returned.
Life. Sometimes it isn't easy. Back now though 👍
@@WillMatthews I'm just glad you're alive.
Thank you man, the job well done and excellent
Badass build
You’re alive!
Why all that Chain around the anvil?
@BKNY FINEST Yes, it Will be harder to transport that stand. But still, you have not changed the momentum respons by loosly chains, just mass that is forced down will do that.
Chain helps to deaden vibrations. It makes the anvil ring less loudly when you strike it.
Ah, that makes sense.
I believe it's used to absorb some of the shock of the hammer hitting the anvil. Don't quote me on this
I never lost hope on you uploading
Thanks for sticking round 👍
Awesome work mate it looks great keep the videos coming .............. Thumbs Up
Thanks mate, good to hear from fellow Aussies!
Dude that's Slick as hell.
This is a great video on how to build an anvil stand assuming one already has an anvil stand.
Superb Very well done
Great job my friend, Im Making my own
your dog is adorable. your project is nice 2 :D
glad to see you back !! i was wondering where you'd go ?
Very nice!
Welcome Back!! 😃😃😃😃
Nice work
Good job !
How about cast the base in cement instead for greater stability?
Good Job. Everybody in YT make anvil only no the stand.
Never thought I’d see this channel again. Welcome back!
Thanks Sledge 👍
Awesome project and execution! Curious why the chain?
Twoja nonszalancja poľączona ze skutecznością przy zgrzewaniu żelaza w najróżniejszych konfiguracjach, jest po prostu dołująca : -)
Very nice.
good job
nice work! May I ask what you call that blue curve ruler that you use?
That amazing 👏
Love the video!! I'll be making one very similar. Thanks for the inspiration.
But please take your gloves off when using the drill press. Your making me nervous aha
For what is this chain for?
Hey mate! I saw you use diggers degreaser in the chainsaw video, i figured you must be Aussi! What state are you in? I found your channel and am so pleased to see you're back. Warmest regards, Tom from WA
the idea with the raising casters is great I like that a lot...its a great stand
Can I just say though please don't use woven gloves around a wire wheel, there is way too much potential for it to catch the fibres of the glove and ride your arm down through the wheel causing some really nasty injuries and definitely spoiling your month.
been waiting a couple of years for this, best wishes to all in your family :)
Thank you 👍
Sólo una observación, esa planchuela sera de 1'x1/8?? Por que no la dobló en frío? ?? Es menos laborioso, de todas formas muy buen trabajo
How high, in relation to my body, should the top of the anvil be?
This is fantastic would you mind if I borrowed the idea I just got a new anvil and need to make a stand. Great build and vid all the best
Go for your life mate! Like I said in my description, I borrowed the mech idea from Diresta 👍 thanks for watching!
very good design features @26:00
long time no see ! missed u man
HE LIVVVVES!!
Is that a home-made vise I saw 4:13?
What a spectacular design. Curious why you have 2 different length of rods to your pivots though? At any rate, love the design, looks like a million bucks
Cool design although I probably wouldn't have made the lever out of copper, but because I park my car in my garage/workshop I'd have to use that lever mechanism a lot more than he probably would.
It becomes readily apparent that steel is not the best solution for all problems. When do you start adding aluminum?
Great Job Friend!!
I’ll be back!!
One question: was the lever to raise & lower the wheels made out of copper?? This was my 1st run thru watching. If it was……..a bit CO$TLY huh?? But CQQL for sure!!
