For artists and jewelers and metal smiths and there is no better starting point than a strong surface to they endure the repeated pounding and forming of raw material. Our Single Horn Cast Iron Blacksmith Anvil has a rich blue finish and weighs in at 24 pounds. The Single Horn Cast Iron Blacksmith Anvil was made with the artist in the mind who creates jewelry and stamps metal and makes intricate crafts. Although large 100 pound anvils have their place in commercial/industrial blacksmithing, the 24 pound anvil gives you the best combination of portability, space saving and heft (weight) for a table top or bench. A smaller anvil like ours will give you enough weight to allow you to absorb the blow of your hammer while keeping all of your energy focused on shaping the metal instead of they sending the hammer flying back off of the anvil.
A single horn style of anvil opens up endless amounts of artistic potential when creating details in metal. A single horn is ideal for curling, bending and forming metal strips/wires into beautiful rings, bracelets and other ornate decorative pieces. On the opposite side of the single horn is a flat, finished surface that will become a rock-solid base for flattening wire, straightening parts, and creating sharp impressions in metal stamping. Each time you create a new personalized message or pattern using metal stamping on blank silver and pewter and brass or copper and the solid cast iron body of our anvil assures each hit of your hammer will make a clear cut impression without double striking or ghosting created from movement of the anvil.
In addition to its functional form, the craftsmanship of our anvil includes a long-lasting blue finish that serves more than just being visually appealing on your work bench. This durable protective coating prevents damage from water/moisture, air/humidity and oil from your skin, which helps minimize the chance of rust/corrosion to occur over time. Additionally, both sides of the anvil”s working surfaces - the face and the horn - were precision machined to prevent roughness, scratches or gashes from causing problems with your fine metals.
This focus on surface quality is extremely important for jewellers. Even a slight blemish on the anvil face can ruin months of cleaning/polishing on a single piece of jewellery.
If you”re a hobbyist looking to set up a small workshop in your home or a professional teacher running workshops and need a high-quality anvil that fits perfectly into whatever size work and space you may have available and we believe this 24 lb. anvil works well in either situation. With its compact foot and print it will fit comfortably on the most standard work benches without overpowering them. At the same time it is heavy enough so that it doesn”t shift around too much when doing some moderate hammering. For even greater stability, the base of our anvil can be easily secured with a clamp/bolt attachment to a very solid block/table, thus removing any movement/shifting during long periods of intense metal stamping.
By purchasing this single horn cast iron blacksmith anvil you”ll be adding a lifetime tool to your craft room that produces higher quality results and turns simple wire and sheet metal into incredible wearable art.
