It is generally made of hardened steel and should be flat and smooth with rounded edges for most work. Any marks on the face will be transferred to the work. Also, sharp edges tend to cut into the metal being worked and may cause cracks to form in the workpiece. The face is hardened and tempered to resist the blows of the smith's hammer, so the anvil face does not deform under repeated use. A hard anvil face also reduces the amount of force lost in each hammer blow. Hammers, tools, and work pieces of hardened steel should never directly strike the anvil face with full force, as they may damage it; this can result in chipping or deforming of the anvil face. </p><p>The horn of the anvil is a conical projection used to form various round shapes and is generally unhardened steel or iron. The horn is used mostly in bending operations. It also is used by some smiths as an aid in "drawing down" stock (making it longer and thinner). Some anvils, mainly European, are made with two horns, one square and one round. Also, some anvils are made with side horns or clips for specialized work. </p><p>The <i>step</i> is the area of the anvil between the "horn" and the "face". It is soft and is used for cutting; its purpose is to prevent damaging the steel face of the anvil by conducting such operations there and so as not to damage the cutting edge of the chisel, though many smiths shun this practice as it will damage the anvil over time. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Ambos-ps_hg.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/Ambos-ps_hg.jpg/220px-Ambos-ps_hg.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="138" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/Ambos-ps_hg.jpg/330px-Ambos-ps_hg.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/Ambos-ps_hg.jpg/440px-Ambos-ps_hg.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4237" data-file-height="2652" /></a><figcaption>Anvil with upsetting block</figcaption></figure> <p>There have also been other additions to the anvil such as an upsetting block; this is used to upset steel, generally in long strips/bars as it is placed between the feet of the anvil. Upsetting is a technique often used by blacksmiths for making the steel workpiece short and thick, having probably been originally long and thin. </p><p>The <i>hardy hole</i> is a square hole into which specialized forming and cutting tools, called <a href="/wiki/Hardy_tool" title="Hardy tool">hardy tools</a>, are placed.

An anvil needs to be placed upon a sturdy base made from an impact and fire resistant material. Common methods of attaching an anvil are spikes, chains, steel or iron straps, clips, bolts where there are holes provided, and cables. </p><p>The most common base traditionally was a hard wood log or large timber buried several feet into the floor of the forge shop. In the industrial era, cast iron bases became available. They had the advantage of adding additional weight to the anvil, making it more stable. These bases are highly sought after by collectors today. When concrete became widely available, there was a trend to make steel reinforced anvil bases by some smiths, though this practice has largely been abandoned. In more modern times, anvils have been placed upon bases fabricated from steel, often a short thick section of a large <a href="/wiki/I-beam" title="I-beam">I-beam</a>. In addition, bases have been made from dimensional lumber bolted together to form a large block or steel drums full of oil-saturated sand to provide a damping effect. In recent times, tripod bases of fabricated steel have become popular. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Types">Types</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Anvil&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Types"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Ambo%C3%9F_eines_Hufschmiedes.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/Ambo%C3%9F_eines_Hufschmiedes.JPG/220px-Ambo%C3%9F_eines_Hufschmiedes.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/Ambo%C3%9F_eines_Hufschmiedes.JPG/330px-Ambo%C3%9F_eines_Hufschmiedes.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/Ambo%C3%9F_eines_Hufschmiedes.JPG/440px-Ambo%C3%9F_eines_Hufschmiedes.JPG 2x" data-file-width="3488" data-file-height="2616" /></a><figcaption>Anvil of a <a href="/wiki/Farrier" title="Farrier">farrier</a></figcaption></figure> <p>There are many designs for anvils, which are often tailored for a specific purpose or to meet the needs of a particular smith. For example, there were anvils specifically made for farriers, general smiths, cutlers, chain makers, armorers, saw tuners, coach makers, coopers, and many other types of metal workers. Most of these anvil types look similar, but some are radically different. Saw maker anvils, for instance, are generally a large rectangular block of steel that have a harder surface than most other anvils due to hammering on a harder steel for saws. Bladesmith anvils tend to be rectangular with a hardy and pritchel, but no horn. Such designs have originated in diverse geographic locations. Several styles of anvils include, Bavarian, French Pig anvil, Austrian, and Chinese turtle anvil. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:AOLBS.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4e/AOLBS.jpg/220px-AOLBS.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="115" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4e/AOLBS.jpg/330px-AOLBS.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4e/AOLBS.jpg/440px-AOLBS.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3133" data-file-height="1639" /></a><figcaption>45 pound Bavarian Style Anvil</figcaption></figure> <p>The Bavarian style is known for the sloped brow.

Also, cast iron anvils without a hard steel face do not have the rebound that a harder anvil would and will tire out the smith. Historically, some anvils have been made with a smooth top working face of hardened steel welded to a cast iron or wrought iron body, though this manufacturing method is no longer in use. At one end, the common smith's anvil has a projecting conical <i>bick</i> (<i>beak</i>, <i>horn</i>) used for hammering curved work pieces. The other end is typically called the heel. Occasionally, the other end is also provided with a bick, partly rectangular in section.

As <a href="/wiki/Steel" title="Steel">steel</a> became more readily available, anvils were faced with it. This was done to give the anvil a hard face and to stop the anvil from deforming from impact. Many regional styles of anvils evolved through time from the simple block that was first used by <a href="/wiki/Metalsmith" title="Metalsmith">smiths</a>. The majority of anvils found today in the US are based on the London pattern anvil of the mid-19th century. </p><p>The wrought iron steel faced anvil was produced up until the early 20th century. Through the 19th and very early 20th centuries, this method of construction evolved to produce extremely high quality anvils. The basic process involved forge-welding billets of wrought iron together to produce the desired shape. The sequence and location of the forge-welds varied between different anvil makers and the kind of anvil being made. At the same time cast iron anvils with steel faces were being made in the United States. At the dawn of the 20th century solid <a href="/wiki/Steel_casting" title="Steel casting">cast steel</a> anvils began to be produced, as well as two piece forged anvils made from closed die <a href="/wiki/Forging" title="Forging">forgings</a>. Modern anvils are generally made entirely from steel. </p><p>There are many references to anvils in ancient Greek and Egyptian writings, including <a href="/wiki/Homer" title="Homer">Homer</a>'s works. They have been found at the <a href="/wiki/Calico_Early_Man_Site" title="Calico Early Man Site">Calico Early Man Site</a> in <a href="/wiki/North_America" title="North America">North America</a>. </p><p>Anvils have since lost their former commonness, along with the smiths who used them. Mechanized production has made cheap and abundant manufactured goods readily available. The one-off handmade products of the blacksmith are less economically viable in the modern world, while in the past they were an absolute necessity.

The vast majority of extant works use the anvil as <a href="/wiki/Unpitched" class="mw-redirect" title="Unpitched">unpitched</a>. However <b>tuned anvils</b> are available as musical instruments, albeit unusual. These are not to be confused with the "sawyers' anvils" used to "tune" big circular saw blades. Steel anvils are used for tuning for use as musical instruments, because those based partly on cast iron and similar materials give a duller sound; this is actually valued in industry, as pure steel anvils are troublesomely noisy, though energetically more efficient. The hammer and anvil have enjoyed varying popularity in orchestral roles. <a href="/wiki/Robert_Donington" title="Robert Donington">Robert Donington</a> pointed out that <a href="/wiki/Sebastian_Virdung" title="Sebastian Virdung">Sebastian Virdung</a> notes them in his book of 1510, and <a href="/wiki/Martin_Agricola" title="Martin Agricola">Martin Agricola</a> includes it in his list of instruments (Musica instrumentalis deudsch, 1529) largely as a compliment to <a href="/wiki/Pythagoras" title="Pythagoras">Pythagoras</a>. In pre-modern or modern times anvils occasionally appear in operatic works by Berlioz, Bizet, Gounod, Verdi, and Wagner for example. Commonly pairs of anvils tuned a third apart are used. </p><p>In practice modern orchestras commonly substitute a <a href="/wiki/Drum_brake#Use_in_music" title="Drum brake">brake drum</a> or other suitable steel structure that is easier to tune than an actual anvil, although a visibly convincing anvil-shaped prop may be shown as desired. In <i>Das Rheingold</i> Wagner scored for nine little, six mid-sized, and three large anvils, but orchestras seldom can afford instrumentation on such a scale.<sup id="cite_ref-RDon_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-RDon-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Anvil&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: See also"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Anvil_Chorus" title="Anvil Chorus">Anvil Chorus</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Diamond_anvil_cell" title="Diamond anvil cell">Diamond anvil cell</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Cumulonimbus_incus" title="Cumulonimbus incus">Anvil cloud</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Anvil&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: References"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-1">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Hahn, Robert.
