That power hammer is a little on the skinny side isn't it?

He makes up for it with the facial expression.

The anvil looks like it seen a little bit of work. It looks like a mushroom.

Hey IG I love that anvil! In fact, there used to be a gentleman that made square anvils, that were adjustable in heigth. Some were saying that it's the perfect type of anvil to
pound out a blade on. Seems that they were around $400 or so by special order. I almost ordered one once but didn't, and now kinda wish I had of.

Robert, you are thinking of Chuck Robinson from Mississippi, in fact I got the very last double billet anvil he ever made, I paid around 700$ for it with both ends hardened, the adjustable stand, and the video on how he makes them. best bladesmithing anvil ever.
