Dave F Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 How is the round hole not to be confused a Pritchel hole? (From 36:56 in the video)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechnicusJoe Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 A pritchel hole is a hole for a pritchel, which is a tool used by farriers to size the holes in horseshoes. This hole is located near the hardie hole and small (in most cases). Studying German and other European anvils, the round hole is not layed out in the same location, nor does it even have the same name, nor the same specific function as the pritchel hole on a London Pattern anvil. The round hole is not made square to save costs. And often the round hole is seen as a round "hardie" hole and used so. Calling every round hole a pritchel hole is like calling a straight peen hammer a cross peen hammer, "cuz it's got a peen and flat face". They have similarities, but are definitely not the same. Just like not every round hole in anvil face is a pritchle hole, despite similarities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 What's the round hole called on a German and other European anvils? I've got an Italian-pattern Acciaio and the round hole is in the horn, stepped about 5mm down from the face & really doesn't seem like it would give good full-circle support for punching. It seems best used for hold-down, but maybe with the step it would help keep a round-shanked hardy oriented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechnicusJoe Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) They are called a "round hole" in the various languages. What you describe is a problem with cheaper anvils often but as well with some higher quality brands. They make "anvils" or rather, anvil shaped objects. But they have not at all studied anvils and what will benefit a design. If they knew what a round hole is often used for and can be used for, they would never have placed it in such an awkward location. Anvils were made with functionality in mind and the various blacksmithing techniques were considered. That is however not always the case anymore unfortunately.

pnut Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I've had one of those little chinese anvils for a while and that hole is nearly useless. I don't think I've figured out a way to put it into service save for shearing the biscuit out of one hole I punched that actually fit over the hole without the step up to the face getting in the way. I use the hardy hole or bolsters. Pnut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greebe Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Looks like it would have been a cool video, but having 15 adds on it made me turn it off. Why did you put so many adds in your video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartW Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I got zero adds ... addblock ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechnicusJoe Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 YouTube fills that in for me. You're missing out honestly. But it's up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greebe Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Sorry. I like your videos by the way, but this one has tons of adds for me. I thought Youtube content creators chose how many adds to run which is why I said something. Here is a screenshot of all the adds that are marked with yellow boxes at the bottom. For me at least they were 2-3 minutes each and did not allow me to skip them. That is nearly an additional 30 minutes just in adds with 16 adds now shown on the video for me. Maybe I am getting more adds for some reason. Wonder why others aren't getting them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greebe Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Joe, sorry to derail your post. I will try to take a look at the add thing and watch your video. Thanks for taking the time to make it. It is a lot of work to film and edit videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rojo Pedro Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I love those little anvils and you really put a beating on them. Well built for sure. You should make a 10 pound bench anvil with all the features you would want as a professional. Id be curious to see what it would look like.
