deloid, What your saying makes sense about the larger anvils if a fellow was to work on one all day and everyday. I may get a couple hours forging in most days when its been cold like it is now. 3 hours in one stretch isn't done by me often anymore. I never really have worked on any anvil much over 200 pounds. |

First one to cleave an anvil down the middle with a hammer gets a brownie point!

deloid,
I agree. It only comes by a couple of times a day! ..and I think that cleaving an entire anvil deserves slightly more than a brownie point. __________________ Tracy |

Seriously now,
Tai, Can you predict a weight for the final hammer design? __________________ Tracy |

The computer predicted four pounds, but I haven't weighed the prototype. It feels close.
Hey! I'm thinking an anvil demolishing competition might be a cool idea! See who can knock the biggest chunk out of, horn off,... or split it in two down the middle with a hammer! The winner gets a free "Hot Forging Basics" DVD. So far,... I'm the champ for knocking the horn off a 50 pounder. |

Would using an ASO made in China be fair?

I've never heard of an ASO,... so I guess not.

Oh O.K. Yeah, we'll use a cheap cast iron anvil. A 50 pounder should do it... and I have just the hammer.
Should we put a size limit on the hammers for the ADC? |

Tai,
I will take one. This talk of anvil splitting has me interested. I have a POS anvil I got off ebay a few years back, and a 6lb maul......now I have a big question mark in my mind... Nahhh, sounds like a trip to the ER. |

I tried a prototype of this hammer that mntmanjs had on my first forging project and man does it move steel. I'd like to get one, but I need to find a decent anvil first.
