    Check the anvil rebound, it might not be giving the hammer back like a good anvil will. I used a russian pattern anvil and it almost wrecked my elbow! I now have a Haybudden & it's sooo much better. Oh! relax your grip. Ihope this helps p.s Don't put your thumb on top of the handle while striking.

    Power co. coal is usually anthracite I use it for basic forgeing. It puts out alot of heat,but is not very clean For blades and forge welding I use charcoal. Hope this helps.
