Metal anvil stand?

[RunningManForge]

Hey everyone, I'm running birch logs as a stand right now and wanted to up grade to a metal stand. Any tips on how to go about making one?

I made mine with 3 legs so it wouldn't rock. The bottom shelf has a wheel, that retracts with a threaded bolt, so it is easy to move around. I piece of 2x under the anvil. Held down with railroad spikes (just the heads with studs welded on)

I found that a 2 ' log works best. Absorbs some of the shock from the anvil.

My anvil is on a stack of tough rubber mats it absorbs the impacts and give a good bounce back when you work. The anvil is bolted trough the rubber mats on a butcher wood block it has wheels on the heaviest side and holes on the other to put bars in and move it around like a wheelbarrow.
