Home mades. Left to right, train rail, sub way rail and then mine car rail. Just wire brushed them for winter metal tinkering. All welded from stuff at the iron scrap yard. Anvil at right is for rings, curved surfaces, bangles etc. Grade 8 bolts and a tractor pin. Hard stuff. It holds up to 18 8 stainless. Cheapy grinder Anvil base. Is moved outside when weather warms. It is probably 150 pounds. Anvils are moved on and off depending on duty requirements. They sit on rubber pad. Stainless tank stays full of 200F+ water when wood stove is going. Gotta stay warm...

I had a good friend, Jack, (RIP) who would call your set up "hippie ingenuity", of course, redneck would suffice, too. This could be my red neck nephew's garage. He's a big time tinkerer of the highest order. Not even cancer is slowing him down.
I used to do body work, so I worked big metal before I went small. I never did have to do any welding, though. Mostly r&r and hand blocks/hammer and bondo.
Are those all airlines against the wall?

I thought your wraps resembled little cars. Ha Ha . Tela, you have incredible wraps.
I am glad that you did body work. That is hard work. I help my cousin from time to time. Really hard work. Helps to be a perfectionist in that field.
Those lines are water lines for floor heat zones.
