My anvil stand split right down the middle during a shoeing job yesterday
It was a 50 year old oak block I got from my dad's old shop. Do you guys think I should try to repair it with steel plates or just build a new one from scratch?

Why would you even think about replacing it? That oak block has fifty years of your dad's work in it, that's real history. Slap some heavy steel plates on each side with long bolts through the whole thing, it'll be stronger than any new stand. New wood needs to settle and can still split, but that old oak is already done moving. Fixing it honors the tradition and saves you a whole weekend build.

Fifty years on one block?
