Gundog48 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I posted earlier in General Blacksmithing about a group of bladesmiths I met while on holiday in France. It was very interesting and there were some lovely examples of anvils there. Some looked ancient, some lovely new european style anvils, and even a farrier's anvil. Sorry about the pictures, I was messing with the shutter speed earlier that day and forgot to set it back, meaning the pictures were hardly visible. I'm amazed the pictures were salvageable at all, but I managed to get them decent, unfortunately because the sensitivity automatically went high to compensate, they are very grainy. Can anyone explain what the cardboard and tape is for on some of them? Anyway, enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Seelye Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I'm going to take a wild guess. If I had an anvil out in the middle of a room with a sharp end on it about thigh height where their might be people walking around, I might put something over the sharp end. Thanks for posting all those nice anvils! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1forgeur Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I would have to agree with Jeff. Anvils are awful hard on one's more delicate area of the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
