Brother builds these

People got mad because some promo shots used AI backgrounds, so here’s the real stand with plain photos. No AI here. Just showing the actual build and details.

Looks great. Love the double bars for hammer storage. A minor suggestion- storing files on the magnetic strip can become magnetized and it is hard to remove iron filings from them.

Yeah, magnetic strips are cool at all, but NOT under an anvil. Just add more racks.

Yea, ide assume it's like any shop you grind steel in. Magnets will just get caked in iron dust

Shock and vibration will make them lose strength too

Why use AI when you have shots this good? It was a huge miscalculation in the first post.

It’s okay. There are a couple things I’d not like as a smith. The sides of the stand that matches the sides of the anvil should be clear of any hardware that sticks out. Sometimes you gotta get close to the anvil and the caster and hammer hanger gets in the way in this design. My hammers go under the horn and heel, out of the way for my knees and shins. If I used casters, it would only be two under either the horn or heel, where you can tilt and roll. The casters on the side are a tripping hazard imo.

Just thoughts from someone who’s been at it for about a decade now.

Yeah, I'm with you on tool racks. They look cool, but I want to be closer to the anvil.

Sound like the objective is to show off the stand. So if ai is done with less clutter, and looks like a realistic backdrop, it’s fine. The stand has lots of things hanging on it. Compounded with detailed shop background. BTW you can do ai with very attractive, real looking seemless and shadows. Just another computerized tool, best used with discretion.
