Anna,

The anvil is made using the sand casting method.

After being cast, the anvil is machined, and it's done!

And we are not currently sponsored by Pepsi, but if you know someone, tell them we're interested!

Nice pictures, but can you tell me how to get from these moulds to an actual steel anvil? Also, are you sponsored by pepsi? :)

Benjamin,

That is the gating system used to feed the metal into the pattern. It gets cut off once the metal cools.

Hi Raj,

I believe for this one we used a mix of fiberglass and hardwood.

Usually when we make anvil patterns, they are all hardwood though.
