@Homesteadforge I don't have any plans drawn up but I can put together a video that has more specific measurements & things to consider when designing you own anvil base.
I dabbled in blacksmithing when i was younger. I made my first forge from a cinder block burning bbq charcoal with just a large slap of steel for an anvil. But seeing this makes me want to spend some savings and get back into it.
Yeah I will be on concrete. But I am thinking I could anchor the thing to the floor if need be! Thanks for uploading the video! I'm heading out to the shop right now!
I really like the design, as I stated earlier, But My main question is, how bad does that thing jump when you use it? I would thing it's heavy and sturdy but, I can see it jumping around a bit. Either way. I am gonna build one soon!
I haven't had any problems with it jumping around or moving. I'm working on a crushed gravel floor so the base plate is locked in pretty good and the gravel will conform to the shape of the plate. If you have a cement floor you might need to mount this whole thing on wooden runners to give it a stable footing so it doesn't rock or pivot.
Also the clips that hold the anvil really lock it down so the the whole thing acts as a unit so it would take a pretty heavy hammer to get all that jumping around. The only complaint I have so far is that it does hum a little when I'm using a heavy hammer. It's not loud but you can hear it in the videos
Nice!

Very nice stand....would love to have the plans for this base, as my anvil is approx. the same size.
