But putting the holes in when you pour the concrete means you have a
convienient way to move it when you need to. Spending a few minutes to
put the pvc in before the pour sounds like a good idea to me. If you
odn't use it, you are out 15 minutes. If you need it, it will be the
only way for one person to move it.

I have a similar anvil stand. No wheels. I scoot mine too. I thought a lot
about putting wheels on it and decided not to. Feet and hot metal go lots
of places when I'm working, and wheels would get in the way. While I
applaud
your idea of putting in a hole that clever way, I would personally not
choose that design feature were I to build it. - GWE

Having made similar things, I figured out next time I would use some
1/2" PVC pipe to cast in an axle through-hole near the bottom of the
base. That way you can put an axle and some wheels just off the
ground, and some sockets for a handle, and you can wheel it around the
shop. I imagine you could retrofit this by welding onto your angles.
