My anvil stand cracked right during a demo in Nashville

Was doing a live demo at a fairgrounds event outside Nashville and mid swing the wooden stand under my 150 lb anvil split right down the side. The anvil tipped forward and nearly landed on my foot, scared the heck out of me. Had to grab some scrap 4x4s and bolt together a quick A-frame stand on the spot with my buddy holding it steady while I worked. The old stand was oak but had a hidden rot line, should have checked it before going public. Anyone else had a stand fail or do you guy weld up steel frames instead?

Steel frames last longer, bolt it once and never worry again.
