Anvil Hardy Hole Attempt

Super job, love the rough and ready look as well.

Currently building an ASO (finished my forge last week) and I agree it is probably more work than the finished product is worth. But it's about the journey, fun and satisfaction when you're finished. Thanks for sharing.

I sure is man!

good video sir ! you know what .. this ASO will probably work better for you than a real anvil will :) nice work man !!

[@RustyPearson]

Stokkeland Smia you know, I might just hang onto it.

Really nice and inspiring DIY anvil improvement. I remember well the amount of work to make your own anvils, specially when you just have a limited assortment of simple tools at your disposal. I would have made the welding chamfers to get a much deeper welding, but your anvil seems to work ok. Now Mr. Pearson, you have a anvil, not an ASO. An ASO is just an Anvil Shaped Object that is worth nothing for work but to use it as a door step, boat anchor or paper weight! An Aso is made of low quality material, poor design and finishing that looks like a classical anvil but brakes easily upon impact of an hammer. You have a real anvil that you are building for some time and according to your videos, works perfectly.

Thank you Sir and I appreciate the distinction!

Rusty Pearson your welcome man

[@christopherharrylang7424]

you're creating an heirloom tool, nice job. alternatively you could probably have just welded some thick walled square tube of the appropriate dimensions to you die anvil for a hardy hole. keep on forging.

Christopher Harry Lang yeh, but where's the fun in doing something easy, ha ha!
