My anvil stand gave out mid-shoe yesterday
It was a simple pine block stand I've had for about five years. I was setting a heel on a size 2 shoe when the whole thing just split down the middle. The anvil tipped and the shoe went flying. I had to stop the job and bolt it back together with some steel straps I had in my truck. It set me back almost an hour. Has anyone found a good, solid plan for a stand that won't do this?

Saw a video where someone filled a steel drum with concrete for a stand.

Oh man, that's the worst! Pine was just begging for a dramatic breakup after five years of getting pounded on. I had a buddy who tried a big oak stump and even that thing started checking after a while. Honestly, I just ended up welding up a frame out of heavy angle iron and filled it with sand. It's ugly as sin but that anvil isn't going anywhere, lol.
