Anvil
September 17, 2009
I’m having a hard time fastening grommets. I use the 1/2 inch ones and they are big.
I just found a tool kit in the right size at LACIS.
But I don’t have a good solid table that I’m willing to pound on to attach the grommets correctly.
So I want to get a small anvil. My friend Alyson had a great one that was a little bigger than her palm and she could hold it between her knees and cold forge her jewelry wire on it.
I found a few options online but I think I should be able to find one around the Bay Area because seriously… I don’t want to pay for shipping on an ANVIL!
So I called around to some of the local hardware stores… thinking, erroneously that they might carry anvils. Or know where I could find one.
Apparently no one knows what an anvil is. Which I find hilarious because…
So first I have to explain what an anvil is and then I have to wait for them to find someone to ask… yup, no anvils.
Then I had a brain flash. The Crucible. They have to know where to buy anvils.
I sent them an email, I should hear back in a few days.
Wish me luck.
Night.

I tried! But after the BBB came after them ACME gave up selling hardware and started baking bread.
