JHCC Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Also goes to show that a hollow in the middle of your anvil is not a problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeagle Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 This is not OSHA approved. On the plus side, his anvil wont rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kozzy Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Wow. Imagine how that guy is going to be walking in 20 years. I've sometimes heard similar described as a walking question mark....in this case maybe more like the & character. Ouch. Tough way to earn your bowl of gruel. On a positive note, I bet the boss doesn't rip him a new one for leaving tools in the rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew D Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 One of the interesting facts about having a stone anvil is stone is naturally an insulator NOT a conductor. Your heated metal would tend to stay heated longer. I want one! So... What sort of stone would be a good anvil? My other hobby is doing lapidary work and I have a 20 inch lapidary saw capable of making pretty large cuts. Llanite would be good. Or a fine grained granite. Any sort of volcanic basalt that is tough would work. Diabase/dolerite would work. I am sure there are other tough stones that would make a suitable anvil. One made from alumina ceramic would be awesome. That stuff is tougher than all get out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Historically from Asia Jade was considered a good stone for anvils. I'm keeping my eye out for basalt; but the best pieces I've seen locally are either on Park land or the Res and you don't mess with either!
