doc Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Very common way of forging in parts of Asia and Africa. One reason I can think of for it in Africa is that in certain areas wood may to valuable to use as an anvil stump. Also I believe Africans may value their knees more than Indians and some Asians who squat down to forge. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
