To say that my dad is a “jack of all trades” would be an under-statement. Just to name a FEW of his regular activities, he’s an auctioneer, blacksmith, travelling medicine man, landscape designer, bonsai/kettle cooking/japanese garden building/wildflower hiking instructor at the John Campbell Folk School, among other things…. So when he began his new venture “The Anvil Shoot”, I was hardly surprised. He “shoots the anvil” at conferences and special occasions all over the U.S., including the one I documented below at my cousin’s wedding! So if you never get the chance to enjoy it in person, you can at least witness it vicariously through me! :)
First up, levelling the ground and laying the anvil at an angle against the spin of the hemisphere…
Then assuring a good seal with caulk!
And make sure you add plenty of gun powder!
And lay the second anvil right side up on top of the first anvil!
Lighting the fuse with his cigar…
And KER-POW!!!
The landing…
