The most basic metal smithing tools being hammer and anvil, enjoy a special place in many metal enthusiasts’ household or workplace. Influenced by one such alternative concept that adds to your imagination as much it does to functionality, a uniquely designed vintage anvil might prove to be of great convenience. Not vintage as much as recycled, Etsy has recently put up this incredible anvil sculpture made truly from recycled materials retrieved from renounced car parts and railroad steel. With dedication combined to skillful determination, the anvil makes more of a statement about its owner as much it does about the current economic issues.
Shaped to conform also as an art object, each and every piece of the entire sculpture has been individually welded and repainted to form an aesthetic and solid structure with dimensions of 22 inches length x 12 inches height x 7 inches wide.
This unique item has been designed and manufactured by Willway Forge, a design studio selling handcrafted designer blacksmith forged items and located in the Hampton Roads, Virginia area, VA. By combining traditional to modern methods, the artistic blacksmith Matt Sieber, who owns the studio, claims that he is specialized to transform common metal items used in everyday life to an alternative concept to influence and affect eco conservation factors as well. Definitely not something you come across every day, it is more like a collector’s item, fun, functional and makes an excellent choice for a gift for the steampunk enthusiast, too. Its unique and uniform craftsmanship makes up for its weighted presence, be it in your work shed or your living space area.
If you just need the basic structure for thrashing into shape the backs over the metal blades or horseshoes or else to create the perfect accessory to your eco themed room decorations, the handcrafted anvil here is more than just the perfect choice. Priced at 80 USD, the product will fascinate the beholder as well as spread the message, to be more responsible toward mother nature, in the same breath. The shipping destination and cost will not be a thing to worry if it is to be shipped within US; but in case for others, prior consultation is to be sought from its marketing concern.
