Switched my anvil stand from wood to steel last month, not going back
Kept reading that a wood stump was the only way to cut ring and save your wrists, so I ran a big oak stump for 2 years. Then my neighbor let me try his steel stand filled with sand at his place in Roanoke, and the rebound on a 2 lb hammer was dead quiet, way less than my stump. Anyone else run sand filled steel, and how do you keep the base from walking on a smooth floor?
