How to place advanced forge?

[SaidNextOne]

Finally collected all this mountain of things needed to build a forge. And what do I see? I can't put it up. I can't hold all this stuff at once: an anvil weighing 40 kg, bellows weighing 40 kg, stone blocks weighing almost 10 kg, a log, a bucket, cement... Damn trowel! It doesn't want to put the forge right on the pile. And as soon as I try to put it next to it, it moves away from the required materials and can't build anything anymore.
How do I install this forge?

It's tricky to lay it down for sure. I built mine outside just so I had space to place the bellows on the ground, stand in the square SW of the bellows, drop the Anvil at my feet, then build the Forge SW of where I stood while holding the other mats.

The Anvil weighs 40 so either the cement or the bucket can also be dropped in the same square.

Drop everything on the ground. I placed my crafting area in that chain-link fenced square at the Echo Creek gas station. It even had a barrel to craft a charcoal burner.

Wait, how did you make the wooden bucket? I have everything I need but can't find or build the curved metal.

dismantle wrecked cars. you might need a couple levels in welding to get good results but once you do you'll find plenty of the small bands you need for the bucket.

Thanks! It was driving me wild trying to find them!

Man, it works! Thank you so much! :)
Just for the record: even with military backpack I had to drop cement on the bellows, and unload everything from the backpack and all the things except clothes from the inventory. Otherwise, the damned anvil wouldn't fit in my hands.

I made primitive forge with stone anvil. Then you can make a band out of two iron or steel bars. And this band can be sawed to the 4 small ones. Steel bars can be found somewhere in warehouses.

Yea I didn't have a primitive forge, figured I'd skip it since I had almost everything else for the advanced one... Was only until I realised the anvil I had found isn't the same as the one you need to craft that I discovered I could have made the bands this entire time :P Doh!
