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.
Metal on Metal is an album by Anvil, and the title song.

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...
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. More information about my blacksmithing business can be found here: www.essentialcraftsman.com Thank you, be safe...

In this video I will be demonstrating how I built this one of kind anvil stand. I recently purchased an anvil that is made out of an old piece of railroad track. Because the anvil is made from a piece of railroad track I thought it would be fitting to make the stand out of a railway tie. The reason that I made this video was because I am hoping to do some knife making in the near future. Also, I want to apologize for the delay in uploading this video. A lot of you requested that I make my 3D printed CO2 rockets out of glow in the dark filament and shoot them off at night. The problem was my camera wouldn't pick them up in the sky because they are too small and they shoot off too fast. Stay tuned for my next video to see the electric go kart build and to be a part of the key chain givea...
They are out there - just be patient and diligent! Have a great day everyone.
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
