Špatný. Spousta materiálu a práce k ničemu. Pod kovadlinou má být špalek. Né bedýnka na posypový materiál. Not good. A lot of material and work for nothing. There should be a log under the anvil. Not a box for sprinkling material.
What a wonderful attitude. In fact. It works great. 2 years of forging/moving and 0 issues. Not a good comment. A lot of words and typing for sharing an opinion. Comment boxes not for trolls. Go make something.
I had to squelch several, “how does he know...?” throughout the video. The music, at dawn on a Sunday morning, was yummy. The ad for wrinkle reversal cream that popped up in the middle, not so much. How dare they! Amazing work. Love, Mom
@@skullandspade I didn't it was just like this because I can't weld yet but it came out great for the 22 lb anvil I have. I've made a few bottle openers and a leaf and some tongs and it held up just fine.
Been waiting to see this one since you teased it on IG! That is really an impressive anvil stan.... er... workbench Captn'. I can't wait to see how it performs for you. I do think there may be a few other shop improvements coming though - your take on a flip top stand so as to not have to plane on the ground; or something to wrangle in the grinders - just a thought. Keep up the amazing work!
Mayhaps? How does the chain work? I dig the idea, but how would you make it removable? Clip a link to fit, then screw mount the center? I feel like as I’m typing I’m seeing the concept...
I really dig the idea with the cord aroung the stand. But all this work for an anvil stand? You overkilled it again :D A good old tree stump does it fine for me.
Aaaaaand another one! :) Love the look of that stand! And the rope for toolholding is brilliant! What would you put on a metal one? I was thinking about welding on pieces of pipe...
Square tube or pipe. That’s what Jimmy used all the time. It’s a great solution, but keep in mind that the wood and metal from you handles can get beat up
Well,workbench? Anvil stand 2.0? Love the moveable part tho... not sure about points this time.... But the music made my heart varm. It sounds like old (Norsk folke musikk) Norwegian folk music... Made me wonder... Got some vikingblood in you? Would be awesome,but i gues your family comes from britain? Scotland? Anyhow,i give u a level up,just because the music....
@@skullandspade I just bought a 150# Peter Wright from a farmer. It's welded to a weird pipe/water heater tank base. I'm torn between packing the base with sand or hunting down an oak stump. I'm too impatient to build it a throne like you did. You aren't just a garden variety blacksmith, you're a craftsman. Keep up the good work and don't be discouraged by trolls like me.
Wow , finally a shop guy's channel that does without the heavy distortion metal head guitar " music " ,( if you call it that ) ... Gets tiresome ... The music sounds to me like maybe a Celtic style folk music ... If ya gotta have music on this type channel this is great ... Thanks ...
Brett McAfee Good man. I’ll swap one of mine for it. No really, I’d love a bigger fisher. I’ve got a 100lb Fisher but they’re rare as hens teeth over here. I know of 4 in the U.K. All the best bud.
You really nailed it. Pun intended. Love the stand, all its features, and the music, Brett. I imagine it will look better and better with use, too. Thanks for sharing!
I've just made an anvil stand too! Good to see other approaches. Especially how different are the anglo-saxon and central-european anvil stands, layout of blacksmith shops and blacksmithing in general Thanks for sharing!
Big thumbs up to Brett. The projects are, of course, fantastic, but the amount of work that goes into producing his videos is unbelievable. Some of us definitely notice and appreciate the effort!
Why not just when wanting to move it use a 2 wheel cart? Somewhere in the future we’re gonna need the metal you used and when the go a searching Fer it, it’ll be all wrapped around and rusted together with a hunk of rusting metal you call an anvil. Good lord think a thousand years in the future son. Fer PETA sake The thumbnail of it looks pretty….its a pretty anvil stand 😆 🚶🚪🦕
Oh, and just a note/opinion: I've worked with 4 different planers over the years. 2 Dewalts that broke after a few big runs, an old Delta that was unkillable but not great when it came to sniping the ends, and this Ridgid (two different shops). I have yet to have issues with the ridgid.
@@skullandspade I've always been happy with ridgid as a brand, I have yet to have a single one of their tools die on me. That said, if that planer ever kicks the bucket, you should look into Magnum Industrial (if you can get them, I think they're a Canadian brand?).. they've got four posts just like the DeWalt so snipe is kept to a minimum, and they come standard with a helical carbide head
Hi If talking to one of those skulls can produce and anvil stand like that you best send me one of those skulls to talk too, I am fed up talking to myself and nothing gets done.
It looks like every problem can be solved with an anvil stand! Make them all the same height then chuck a butcher block on top and your laughing! Lovely work mate
This video left me both relaxed and inspired, which is the vibe your videos seem to install in most of your audience. You´re definitely doing something right, and I sincerely hope you´re really enjoying the journey we are following along with you!
Ok, I was completely on board until I saw you didn't secure the top down, it's only seated by gravity and we all know there is no such thing as gravity, the Earth sucks. Seriously, that's an accident waiting to happen. Just can't get on board with a design like that. You need to secure it so it cannot come off at an importune moment and break your leg or crush your foot. No, I'm not from a small town in Wisconsin. Just seen too many things that "Could possibly be a problem" I have visited all those people in the hospital and put money in the collection plate for them at church and work. "You hear about Bobby?" "No what?"I askes, "That thing he came up with fell over and he's all messed up gonna be out of work for at least two months." You can't fix stupid but you can put money in the collection plate for them and go cut their grass for them until they can walk again.
I think I am experiencing "anvil envy"! Must be something in the McAfee blood, we are makers through and through. At least one of can make good videos though. Keep it up!
Thats the second time you've missed the opportunity to put some small hidden treasure inside with the desert sand. Also welcome to the desert. Have fun with our summers.
Excuse me Brett any chance of some drawings or plans for this rolling anvil stand ? I have a small shop too and I would love to be able to wheel my anvil out of the way when I'm wood working and put in the center of the shop for hot work I bet I am not the only one who would happily pay for them
Please ad a safety so it does not flip I have an anvil fall on me you can’t move them and it is a lot harder when your foot is stuck underneath I’m 12.

few more anvil stands and you could probably hold a sheet of plywood on top of them :D
I think you're right. Need more anvils.
That's one mighty fine workbench
Ellen says so!
Dang Brett! You did it again. You keep feeding the maker in me with the “I gotta try that!”.
DO IT!
This is the most criminally underrated channel on UA-cam.

That's a beautiful workbench right there

Lovely work Mr McAfee!
Thank you!
This is ABSOLUTE beauty
Thank you!
I just got a new anvil (finally)! So this thing here is going to get build! Thanks, captain!
Get to it!
Fine work, Captain! Wonderful music on this Sunday morning.
Thank you brother!
Such a fun build. Really liked the music and edit, so chill. I needed that.
Cheers brother!
great video! Can't wait to make a stand for my new anvil!
Do it

So amazing to watch everything come together! Makes my day!!
You make my day
Thanks for the video Brett. Excellent as always.Music was great, set the mood perfectly. Keep safe and stay well.
Thank you Colin, hope you enjoyed!
I just love this, fantastic work looks awesome.
Thank you!
Nice sunday morning treat to watch you build. Now you need your own ocean in the desert, aka quenchtank.
A grog barrel more than likely :D
@@RedBairnMedia Aye
I'm definitely going to need one. In case i need to jump in and cool off.
A fine workbench, indeed!! Great video and so many nuggets of tips and processes!! Much Appreciate!!
Thank you lady!
Loving the rope tool holder....
Easy peasy
Brett McAfee ......genius.....!
Beautiful work surface that holds your tools. lol - Love the music, too.
Indeed! Thank you sir!
Sheesh that was awesome, great build and great music. Keep it up!
Thank you as always brother Brett!
Well done sir. I especially like the rope tool holder!
Aye, simple and functional
Nice work as always. Great motivation to get out and work in the shop.
Thank you sir! Pitter Patter.
Good video and a great looking anvil stand! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you James!
Functional, and looks amazing. What else could you want?
A cat.
VERY COOL!!! Still not a workbench though.
Best workbench I’ve ever had
nice build
Thank ye
Another excellent video from a true maker! Also loved the music. Keep the outstanding content coming!
Thank you sir! Unfortunately there’s 1 guy out of the thousands that thought otherwise. See below:
Brett McAfee well there is always one that has to be different. The thousands of others are with you and delight when you upload!

Where did u get that crosspein hammer? Looks like a William Basra’s. I wish I had one

Great video. Editing and craftsmanship on point. Stoked I found your channel. Subbed
:)
Welcome to the weird NOOBLORD!
Do the magnets that hold the pins for the handle collect metal dust constantly? Seems like a chain might make more sense in a metal shop
Mayhaps? How does the chain work? I dig the idea, but how would you make it removable? Clip a link to fit, then screw mount the center? I feel like as I’m typing I’m seeing the concept...
Very smart sir! I will steeeeal!
DO IT!
super!
W00t!
The crosspein on the anvil stand not the one u were using. The flared one
I believe you’re referring to my Sunset Forge hammer
I really dig the idea with the cord aroung the stand. But all this work for an anvil stand? You overkilled it again :D
A good old tree stump does it fine for me.
How do you roll it with the anvil on top?
@@skullandspade i don't, got my setup in place how i wanted it
Like the rope for tool holding, did u measure it up how many kilo it is?
With the anvil and sand, about 225kg
Aaaaaand another one! :) Love the look of that stand! And the rope for toolholding is brilliant! What would you put on a metal one? I was thinking about welding on pieces of pipe...
Square tube or pipe. That’s what Jimmy used all the time. It’s a great solution, but keep in mind that the wood and metal from you handles can get beat up
@@skullandspade I was too intrigued by your idea and got some rope 😬 ❤️ I will probably combine the two a bit...
Well,workbench? Anvil stand 2.0?
Love the moveable part tho... not sure about points this time....
But the music made my heart varm. It sounds like old (Norsk folke musikk) Norwegian folk music...
Made me wonder... Got some vikingblood in you? Would be awesome,but i gues your family comes from britain? Scotland?
Anyhow,i give u a level up,just because the music....
Thank you Morten. I've got a bit of everything goin on in my heritage.
Scotland ?
The deserts of Finland
Cool project! Although I think you should have hidden a skull in with the sand.
Just sayin.
You’re right
An oak stump would have been way more practical and lasted longer. But this is pretty.
Oddly enough, there is a distinct lack of Oak Stumps in the California desert. Luckily, making pretty/practical anvil stands solves that problem.
@@skullandspade I just bought a 150# Peter Wright from a farmer. It's welded to a weird pipe/water heater tank base. I'm torn between packing the base with sand or hunting down an oak stump. I'm too impatient to build it a throne like you did. You aren't just a garden variety blacksmith, you're a craftsman. Keep up the good work and don't be discouraged by trolls like me.
Wow , finally a shop guy's channel that does without the heavy distortion metal head guitar " music " ,( if you call it that ) ... Gets tiresome ... The music sounds to me like maybe a Celtic style folk music ... If ya gotta have music on this type channel this is great ... Thanks ...
Cheers liberty. I get burnt out on the heavy. Learn to relax a little, right?
music's a little gay, but pretty nice build
An sorry Brett you’ve got a duff anvil there. You’re going to have to post it over to me for suitable disposal.
Stand looks good though. 👍👍
Ah, that's fair. I'll throw some bubble wrap on it and chuck it your way.
Brett McAfee Good man. I’ll swap one of mine for it. No really, I’d love a bigger fisher. I’ve got a 100lb Fisher but they’re rare as hens teeth over here. I know of 4 in the U.K.
All the best bud.
I never thought I would be able to tell a possessed skull could narrow it's eyes in suspicion via subtitles until now. Also great project!
HAHAH, she's reeeeaaaaal scary like that.
Great build as always. Don't know how you get anything done with Jess just out of frame playing the violin the whole time.
It's a bit distracting...but we deal. Plus she knows all the shanty songs I like.
Your 96 year old Grandma Lola just watched this video, and commented, “He’s brilliant!” She is your most objective critic, of course.
Of course 🖤
You really nailed it. Pun intended.
Love the stand, all its features, and the music, Brett. I imagine it will look better and better with use, too. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you as always Dominic!
Funny looking workbench.

Great job! Enjoyed the build Brother :-)
Thank you brother! Hope all is well with you and yours!
The Double-Square is listed two times in the description and the plane-grinder?? isn't listed.
Gotcha! Fixed it:
Ridgid Planer: amzn.to/3dj4BHb
Oh, and just a note/opinion: I've worked with 4 different planers over the years. 2 Dewalts that broke after a few big runs, an old Delta that was unkillable but not great when it came to sniping the ends, and this Ridgid (two different shops). I have yet to have issues with the ridgid.

'tis a fine stand, but sure 'tis no bench, English.

I love that idea. Most stable base ever.
Great video and music! The idea of dust inside its the best!!! Great great job my brother!!💪🏼🔥
Thank you brother! Can't wait to see your forge setup!
What style! Nice engineering and fabrication! I know there's a treasure buried in the base. ; ) Great video. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Thank you GMS!!!
LOL I am building somthing very similar to this... I like the idea of the handle and “wheel” though...
Get to it then!
More gorgeous work!
Question, what/who is the music by?
All my music comes from Epidemicsound.com
Great video as always, makes me want to remake my anvil stand because it doesn't do my anvil justice!
Get to it then!
Cap'n....Look sharp..if the first mate doesn't get his workbench ya may be smellin' a mutiny! That's a beast of an Anvil 😍

It might just.
I live how even your tools are personal pieces of art, great stuff as always!
Quality over quantity my friend.
Lovely Work, looks really Great (you still have to paint the ends of the threaded rod, nuts and washers) 👍 👍
What is “paint”?
Well you know, something to disguise the new looking metal, I'm sure you can think of something pirate esq 👍👍
👍👍👍👍 that'll work and looks great!

don't let Ix and Skully heckle you, workbench or no is in the eye of the maker. What happened to the frankentable? Nice stand Brett +1
Frankentable was a bit much to travel across the country with the limited space. It’s still getting its use at Jim’s shop

Amazing Brother!!!!!
Thank ye
do you use the sand for cheap weight? or does it dampen hammering vibrations or something?
A little of column A, little of column B. Mostly weight. But it does help act as a dead weight for dampening vibration or movement
