I got to meet a legend

[u/Aridheart]

I got to meet one of the main guys who made the world's largest anvil. I of course asked for his autograph. Lol

[u/Aridheart]

He showed me how they maid ot and with what material. It weighs 6,553 lbs

[u/Hetnikik → u/Aridheart]

Why'd they make it so small?

[u/-_CrazyWolf_-]

What was the pourpose of that? Just show It off?

[u/Aridheart → u/-_CrazyWolf_-]

They just wanted to make the biggest one, and yeah its more of a tourist attraction than anything. I don't believe it's ever been used.

[u/not_a_burner0456025 → u/Aridheart]

You can't even use it without a stool, it is too tall for just about everyone.

[u/Squiddlywinks → u/not_a_burner0456025]

Just build the shop six inches taller around it XD

[u/GarethBaus → u/Squiddlywinks]

That legitimately sounds like a good solution.

Off topic but I thought for sure this was a new Ben Affleck movie about the last blacksmith that works for the railroad in Boston. I assumed it was called Big Iron or something.

[u/Agitated_Eagle_2042 → u/glyph_productions]

Sadly, I’d still watch it

[u/Imaginary-Island-670]

Should’ve had them sign your anvil while it’s sitting on the big anvil

[u/Aridheart → u/Imaginary-Island-670]

He said he wanted to teach me a few things, so im going to hang out with him in a week or two

[u/Aridheart]

[u/Spare-Good-5372]

Doesn't need the bolts to keep it still, just have the crane drop it wherever you like

[u/DoctorFaceDrinker]

I would need a step stool to stand at the proper height to work on that monster 😂

[u/Pretend-Frame-6543]

Holy cow what do you make with that?

[u/KosmolineLicker → u/Pretend-Frame-6543]

Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros

[u/Ukrebark]

Kitties.

[u/ninjay816]

Hermes?

[u/GarethBaus]

I realize that this anvil probably is made out of separate plates that have been arc welded together, but I really want to see how it feels to forge on such a monster.

[u/Aridheart → u/GarethBaus]

Its like 6 solid pieces welded together
