This looks more like ground to cloud caused by the strike just before the vertically propagating "tree". Lookup videos of "Anvil crawlers" btw, they're amazing without having to be slowed.

Interesting tale, but smiths strike their anvils to insure that the hammerhead is pointing in the direction you strike. Hammer handles being round, over the course of hammering it's very easy for the head to slip out of alignment with the arm wielding it. So you tap the anvil with the hammer to straighten the face.

I never knew there was so much to know about anvils and I never knew I actually wanted to know it either!

Damn that music is annoying. It covers up the most beautiful little *ting* sound I've ever heard. It's a nice dichotomy that such a beautiful and delicate sound is made by forging a piece of metal on a large anvil by big ass hammers. =)

I'm lacking in respect, huh? Fuck you, pal. I disagreed with you, and I did so pretty vehemently because I feel very strongly that you are wrong. Do you somehow think that you are entitled to judge everybody else by your impossible standards while staying safe from reproach and disagreement up in your ivory tower? And I'm the one with the ego, sure.

Now, look. I have two friends who are way into blacksmithing (and I'm actually going to try this out a bit when it becomes feasible for me to have a forge and anvil (I don't think my current neighbours would like it if I suddenly started pounding metal in my back yard)) and many others who have spent years working in construction. One of them even broke his back doing it. They have their primary skills and I've got mine, and while there is a slight overlap (since we all love to learn new things and tend to do so from each other), we all have to recognize that we are different people who are good at different things.

Because the really fucking simple truth is that life isn't perfect, and neither are human beings. We also have a finite amount of time and a finite amount of energy, and unless you are some sort of crazy person who doesn't have any limits and will work yourself until you keel over, you're going to have a few things you do well and a few things you do less well. Deal with it. What is happening here is that you've got some jacked up übermensch fantasy you can't possibly live up to, so you judge others instead of just taking your expectations down to a more realistic level.

Oh, and by the way - I love how your response was essentially just one big throbbing ad hominem. Don't have anything meaningful to say? Don't worry; you can always call the other guy an arrogant jerk! That'll show him! Nice job there, buddy. You really got me good.

I want to see them make an anvil and a hammer

I surprised the heat didn't dissipate into the anvil enough to prevent it from getting that hot.

I have the beta preloaded and ready to go and I've organised with some people already who are playing on Anvil Rock this weekend.

There's no nice way to say it. Boy, are you Trog-Lib-Dytes stupid. Any bit of propoganda the Obama campaign craps out their crusty, diseased sphincters you will run up to and dreamily start licking up and loudly proclaiming it is the most delicious chocolate ice cream you've ever had. You embarrass yourselves every time you start brainlessly running around, regurgitating whatever foamy diahrrea come back up after eating the DNC's sewage. Honestly - how can you guys really be this dumb? Do you really believe there is any commonanity in ANYTHING Reagan (one of the most aggressive tax cutters ever) ever said and anything Odumbo says? You're like a bunch of drowning men desperate for a life-preserver, who will grasp at an anvil because youv'e got nothing else to hold onto. Pathetic.

"On a superficial level, Obama is echoing Reagan’s anecdotes when he speaks of the Buffett Rule and tax fairness. But it is misleading for Obama to suggest that Reagan was “pushing for the same concept” — and to label the Buffett Rule the “Reagan Rule”-- when the former president actually barnstormed the country to argue on behalf of a broad-based tax cut that reduced taxes for the wealthy, the middle class and the poor while greatly simplifying the tax system."

If Democrats are counting on the STUPID vote, you guys are a lock.

Ms. Hart is very gummy and has a chin like an anvil.

People, people, people, this is freaking Santa we're talking about here. If Santa wants a solid gold anvil the size of a volkswagon in a dimensional box the size of toaster then that's what Santa get's.
And are you gonna tell Santa he can't get what he wants? I didn't think so.

Why does it fall where the Reaper is? That's clearly not where its momentum would take it!


Ditto. I'm calling BS. There's no way you can fire a ball that far away from you and have an anvil land where the ball originated. Totally fake.
