#CLAMP SMALL ANVIL PROFESSIONAL#

If it's done how i've seen it done, you'll usually get less than 10' away for the 'big' swings in your process.

While it wouldn't work for blacksmithing, you dont have even close to approaching the amount of force you would here as you do in smithing.

I've seen them use at a professional jewlers shop, so I think you're ok to use them as well. If it's for the smaller things you and I have talked about (not sure if you want them mentioned) than even a small cast iron one will work. Sam would be right if that were for forging. I am not sure of what kind of arm extension I need to be considerate of as again it's not about using a heavy hammer. Of course I also want to do more to hold it down- maybe more bolts on the sides as it's shaped for this. Maybe a piece of leather between the conrete and anvil. I am considering filling a bucket with concrete and setting a bolt pointing up out of the concrete for the anvil to be screwed down to. Striking work on it is not a matter of needing to impart a great deal of force- it's for smaller/finer work. I figure I will likely be sitting at my stool when working on it as I expect to be doing small work and often will be getting my eyes quite close to the work to study it (as we did back in school), but I can mount it anyway that is most effective for use. It will be kept in my garage/workshop but I'd like to be able to move it (even if not easily- so long as it is possible). I have looked up various instructions on mounting anvils but they are for large/full size anvils. It has a threaded bolt hole in the center of the base.Īny advice or suggestions on the most effective way to mount this would be helpful. I bought a small anvil (what I know as a jewellers anvil). First off- I'm posting here because this is the spot where I can find answers from guys who know about anvils.
