Olga is a beautiful girl. I remember reading a study that said naming things encourages the owner to take care of the thing. Nothing sacrilegious about it. When it is back in stock, the 125lb Holland Euro style anvil I am buying will be named Peaches.
Olga.. she's definitely a prize to be had! Here's my 2 cents on anvil ring... An anvil will always ring louder on a wood block. The wood doesn't absorb or transfer sound very well so there is nowhere for the sound to go so it reverberates/rings. A steel base, sand filled or not will allow the reverberations/ring to continue through the stand and into the floor. Therefore Less ring. Thanks for the video...
fantastic video. very informative. thanks again. I personally have a range of radius on my anvil sharpest near the heel softening towards the horn so i always have the edge i need
Hey Roy thanks for the video! I know you're a busy man but can you go over your post vise mount in a quick video? Still trying to figure out how I want to mount mine I want it to be portable and it looks like yours is. Thanks in advance!
My german Olga have 223 or 228 kg and a round Stamp over the kg. Sie is a sister of your Olga? How old is your Olga? Excuse me for my not so good english! Thank you for your very good Videos!!!
I'm sure you don't have to do this often (if at all), but what do you do when you have to move your anvil? And how did you get Olga on the stand in the first place? I am guessing you would either have to build/buy/rent a hoist or crane. That, or have at least have a couple of friends come over to lend a strong back.
This just gave me a question for you, do you wear hearing protection while forging? Sometimes I like to take my ear muffs off, so I wondered if you like to wear anything to block the sound out. Thanks Roy. You're a great inspiration to me.
Any suggestions on books, web pages, or any other info or media sources for beginners? I have a small anvil and a small gas forge I purchased from a horseshoe and farrier supply shop. I bend horse shoes into cancer ribbons. Then powder coat them and donate them to cancer benefits or give them to fellow cancer warriors I meet at MD Anderson in Houston, Texas where I go for my treatment and all for my cancer. I am interested in learning more about the art of blacksmithing. Thank you for any help and God bless you and your wife!
Thanks for sharing about your Olga. One thing you didn’t mention was her weight. I know in normal society it is impolite to ask after a ladies weight, but in this case I may well be forgiven. She is a real beauty though.
Man I just love German anvils sooo much. I just can never find them Olga is like my dream anvil. It’s perfect. I’ve seen some beautiful anvils on anvils4sale.com and I’m thinking of saving up for one. They are big beautiful anvils for a reasonable price
3000 dollers? that is crazy I thought 5-700 was bad but 3000 dollers, I hope it lasts you for the price you paid roy, thats more then a good welder oy vey
Yep, these anvils are extremely high quality. A german "Peddinghaus" anvil from the 1800's often has egdes like a new one, even when uses everyday. These tools are worth every penny! :)

nice anvil, looks to be worth every penny.Your Grandchildren will be able to use it
I love your anvil sir. Just purchased my first real anvil. I'll have one that size one of these days. Have a great Ohio day.
Showed Olga your video and she said her next beautiful dog will be named Roy!

Thanks for the info. Olga is beautiful.
That she is. :-) thanks for watching

Great video as always. Love Olga.

At 5'30'' it look like some welding repair have been done to fix chipped edge ? the other side seem good.
For me 150lbs is the biggest I’d use a wood stand on and that’s pushing it. I’d prefer a steel stand for any anvil. I also prefer a sharp edge
