An anvil is a block with a hard surface on which another object is struck. The block is as massive as is practical, because the higher the inertia of the anvil, the more efficiently it causes the energy of the striking tool to be transferred to the work piece. On a quality anvil the smith's hammer should rebound with almost as much energy as the smith put into the downward stroke, making the smith's job easier. In most cases the anvil is used as a forging tool. Before the advent of modern welding technology, it was a primary tool of metal workers.
The great majority of modern anvils are made of cast or forged steel that has been heat treated. Inexpensive anvils have been made of cast iron and low quality steel, but are considered unsuitable for serious use as they deform and lack rebound when struck.
Because anvils are very ancient tools and were at one time very commonplace, they have acquired symbolic meaning beyond their use as utilitarian objects.
The primary work surface of the anvil is known as the face. It is generally made of hardened steel and should be flat and smooth with rounded edges for most work. Any marks on the face will be transferred to the work. Also, sharp edges tend to cut into the metal being worked and may cause cracks to form in the workpiece. The face is hardened and tempered to resist the blows of the smith's hammer so the anvil face does not deform under repeated use. A hard anvil face also reduces the amount of force lost in each hammer blow. Hammers, tools, and work pieces of hardened steel should never directly strike the anvil face with full force, as they may damage it; this can result in chipping or deforming of the anvil face.
A good anvil is the mother of all shop tools. Here is tour of my small collection, and a few things I have learned regarding anvils over the years. Thank you for watching. Music is "Shipwrecked" by "Sir Anthony's Ghost" I am very new to YouTube, and have a lot to learn. Especially related to video editing, how to use music, and how all of this works. My son is helping, but it is new territory for both of us. I appreciate your support and encouragement as we try to figure it out. All these videos are for entertainment and inspiration purposes only. The tools and techniques I use are dangerous, and I do not recommend you attempt unless you are a trained professional.

VIMEO LINK : http://vimeo.com/181706731 The year 2100. In an effort to combat overpopulation, the postmortem social network "Anvil" is released. A fusion of both Japanese and Belgian comics inspirations and sensibilities, such as Ghost in the Shell, Akira or Peeters & Schuiten's work. "Anvil" invites us on a journey through the eyes of a young woman in her final moments on earth.

Clearly indebted to the likes of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and many others from across the Atlantic, Anvil nonetheless played louder, faster, and heavier than their heroes, in the process laying the groundwork for the thrash movement that took over heavy metal's underground in the '80s. Yet unlike many of the furious West Coast thrashers that immediately followed them, Anvil were mostly out for a good time: their albums often featured borderline pornographic sex songs, and frontman Steve "Lips" Kudlow frequently took t...
Want to learn Blacksmithing online? Check out this awesome online school!!! http://beginblacksmithing.com/?affcode=35976_3vvej4b7 (Please Read) Link the Second Video Below Many people complain they cannot start forging because they do not have a anvil. Here is your solution. Given the number on people pointing out the use of an anvil to make an anvil I thought I would write a brief explanation. I forged round bar into flatbar. I did this because I did not have any medium carbon steel flatbar, if I had, I would have used it. If you want to make an anvil like the one I made here, you can buy flatbar, or you can skip the adding on the flatbar all together. Furthermore, I added in the forging into this video because I thought it would make it more interesting then if the video only contain...

Release Date: 27 March 2009 Genre: Documentary Cast: Steve (Lips) Kudlow and Robb Reiner Director: Sacha Gervasi Studio: VH1 Plot: At fourteen years old, best friends Lips and Robb Reiner made a pact to rock together forever. Their band Anvil, hailed as the demi-gods of Canadian metal, influenced a musical generation including Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax. Though Anvil never made it, they never stopped playing or believing. Following a calamitous European tour, Lips and Robb, now well into their fifties, set off to record their thirteenth album, This is Thirteen, in one last attempt to fulfill their boyhood dream.
Anvil performs at the 25th Spirit Awards. Introduction by Dave Grohl.
The music flows so free
The songs inside of me
That never seem to fade
The many things I've seen
And everywhere I've been
And all the songs that I've played
The choices that I've made
That I would not betray
Then I would feel so lost
The voice that is within
That I could not begin
Without accepting the cost
[Chorus:]
On fire
On fire
I'm on fire
I'll never burn out
On fire
On fire
I'm on fire
Of this have no doubt
I know that I will never let go
I know that I will always grow
I love just what I do
Won't stop until I'm through
Never take me away
I give it all I got
You know I'll never stop
You know I'm here to stay
[Chorus]
On fire
On fire
I'll never burn out
On fire
