In this episode, taken from a talk that Dr. Doug Butler gave at Farrier Focus Conference at Centaur Forge in Burlington Wisconsin, Dr. Butler talks about different types of anvils. He discusses: use and location, height and position, anvil stands, and stance and safety.
The anvil is one of the most important tools a farrier has to ensure accurate fitting and proper modification of shoes. Dr. Butler talks about the most important factors to consider when deciding what type of anvil to get when starting out.
