What is it ??

[crippleman100]

It's a Anvil used for blacksmithing.

[simdar42]

Please don't scrap the anvil. Clean it up and find the maker's marks & date of manufacture. Check with that blacksmith to see if he knows its value. These are very collectible, prized even by both professional and hobby blacksmiths. Unfortunately you already scrapped another valuable item. I saw in the back of the scrap truck a swage block, a large square of iron with many shapes along its edges and inside. Blacksmiths use these for shaping iron to specific dimensions; very useful to some.

[Nikotiini69]

You never seen an anvil? Our elementary school had one in our woodcraft class. I made a sauna scoop for my grandfather :) It was hard work especially as we weren't allowed to heat the copper and the iron up at all. I must've spent at least 10 hours pounding that damn thing :D

[peterarthur]

Use it as a paperweight.

[Subaru798]

i know wat its used for, but i didnt know the name till i read all these comments..... i want onw of thos, u can make ur own knives and everything xD well.... not really, unless if u have some huge fire thing to melt metal and wat not. haha

[gromby]

Keep the anvil! It would be a terrible waste to scrap such an awesome old tool. Clean it off with a wire brush and wipe it with some oil to stop the rusting.

[BelloBudo007]

That anvil looked a 'andful. ......Sorry best I could come up with at short notice.

[ajpisula]

anvil!!!



[dalriada842]

You might find a use for it if you need to work a piece of metal. I threw out an old iron cobbler's anvil, that I now wish I had kept. Oh well, you live and learn. :(

[FatherLewis19]

anvil lol

[boogiefever1985]

A Japanese person would have worn white gloves to move that anvil! I learnt that from another one of your videos. Really enjoying them - keep it up!

[Nemesis093781]

I got it in the first couple of seconds. Thank you for the video.

[climbingtothetop]

Not only is that a blacksmiths anvil,, but that ring it made when you tapped it with the pipe,, that is a GOOD old school anvil.

[misterblobbyman]

where was Road Runner MEEEEP MEEEEP !!!!! good vid !!!

[ThePapyJay]

Man this thing looks heavy!

[696Justin696]

lmao i got it right in 0/5 sec of seeing it :P

[bluephoenix387]

Wow. That old guy had everything beyond the kitchen sink!

[B1rdbrain]

We have places that take 2 of them place some black powder between them and see how hi the top one flys in the air.

[Powerboywow]

that my dear sir is an anvil for blacksmithing and so on,

[Newbpwng]

its a freaking anvil knew it the second i looked at it

[upmaine]

It would make one heck of an boat anchor. good luck pulling it back up to the boat. Also you better make sure the rope is long enough or it will sink the boat. LOL

[frealynn]

I don't know an anvil is that heavy. Well, 'Evil Anvil' kinda rhyme =D

[BraveSirBevier]

If you can get a hold of an engine hoist, it might be of use to you here!

[djbez5]

my guess.... a fishing pole, go fuckin die!!!!

[superfriedpancake2]

Let's hope Sadako does not come out of the well....

[MesYang88]

As soon as you showed it I know what it was, lol. I had horses when I was younger, so I've seen plenty of those.

[samilinno]

I was hoping you'd find a samurai sword or two...

[jbmaru]

My granddad was a blacksmith and had one, and I had a small one as a kid :) It's kinda decorative in a countryside house.

[CalebMush]

Lol, it is an anvil, I could tell that when I first saw it.... hehe, I saw it.

[jfan4reva]

Perfect example of Newton's laws: (extremely heavy) objects at rest, tend to stay at rest!

[andrew24p]

OMG IS THAT A FLUX COMPASSITER?

[tremault]

awesome! I said anvil after less than half a second, we had a smithing dept in art college where i did my degree. I'll buy it off you for five pounds, do you think shipping will be quite cheap? ;-P

[squebler]

Awesome! I wish I had an anvil - want to blacksmith as a hobby.

[sorasgirl0]

YAY!! I GUESSED ANVIL!! I WAS RIGHT!! What do I win? :D??

[LetsPosting]

My Japanese grandmother told me that old people in Japan would hide their gold disguised as some old rusty heavy object near a stream or some other water feature. If there was no stream or brook near by, the next best thing would be a pond or a well. You know... maybe?

[kingofcups]

0.47 sec got it its an anvel used by a blacksmith i went and bought a baby one from my local hardware shop cost me 2000yen or there abouts that old grandaddy must be worth a few mun or more....... lucky find.

[hempev]

I was hearing its chorus in my head!

[predvcecerom]

if u sell all the stuff that u found in that house jesus thats one house for free I guess

[NeoGee]

We found one at my Grandfather's house after he passed, they are truly heavy ...it stayed with the house.

[grawling]

looks like a 60kg one

[homoinstabilis76]

That was easy! Moooore videos...coming soon! :ppp

[TheLolthazun]

That anvil looks pretty heavy.

[snozzcumbers]

Start training now and you might be able to move it in 5 years.

[jfan4reva]

All of the guys with work shops at home are all going "Keep it! Keep it!". Keep it and eventually you will find about 1000 uses for it (besides straining your back). It's not for nothin' that almost every bench vise has a flat on top and a small horn on the back. You don't have to be a blacksmith for it to be useful. Knew what it was as soon as you tipped it over. That's a nice big one!

[jmwintenn]

you rolled it over and i just sat here going "no way that is an anvil." i would keep that thing.

[no0dles]

it's an anvil

[1OOCoin]

i would sooo clean it up and keep it!

[Hikorichan]

I think you should take up blacksmithing!

[playstation2bigs]

HHHHEEEYyyyyyyyy GGGGGuuuuUUyYYYYYYSSSSSSsssss!­!!!!!!

[Jimaera]

Wile E. Coyote never had to obey the laws of physics, lol. Guess the farmer who lived there dabbled in a bit of blacksmithing, huh?

[Masqueradia]

Who else guessed what it was five seconds after seeing it? : has moved into an abandoned Blacksmith's house before:

[Dennis4SB]

Keep it! When you find the hammer and the bits for the forge all you need is the right steel and you can make swords!

[1161858]

put it on a car jack to make it easier to move then park your car next to a ramp then plop it in

[MrBubonicChronic]

sell it on ebay. i'm sure someone out there would love to have a real anvil, instead of a piece or railroad track.

[zambimaru]

Looks like an Anvil. Drop in on someone's Head.

[desertfeathers]

A bad ass anvil!

[thecanadian1313]

Take it back to ACME

they do refunds

[drybro117]

I think that's what a dolly is for...

[stephenmortimer845]

Oh !! Big joss !! the gods have gifted you with the tool to make your "Nedu Kellya" suit - ya never know if or when it's needed !!

[lordlycius]

that 1 looks like its made of way heavier metal though, gotta luv pig iron, lmao....

[lordlycius]

my pops 1 wayed about 75 lbs, and was round about that size

[lordlycius]

BIG Anvil LoL

No mistaking that shape.......

My pop used to have 1 like that for his metal working lololol ^v^....

[VidzOnComputer]

No doubt that guy was some swordsmith it explains the broken blade from one of your previous videos, maybe even Hattori Hanzo himself...

[Jessiebt]

I guess keep it....maybe you could use it later to help prop-up something you need to be kept still...

[katyasha29]

It's an anvil, keep it it might come in handy latter on.

[EdyPegasus]

anvil 

[xXPondeReplayXx]

oh, it's a unicorn's horn xD

[MrMax89]

My Father was a metal fabricator, so I had an edge. There were 3 of these in our basement of different sizes. It looks like the one you have was our middle anvil. We had one bigger and one smaller. Oh and it took me about 1/4 of a second. Great video.

[therealdefpunk]

Sell it on ebay :-D

[FudgeDread]

@therealdefpunk lol would love to see the postage costs of an anvil from japan! lol

[therealdefpunk]

@FudgeDread That was the point I was thinking about :-D

[fperkins17]

You should definitely keep it. Anvils can be quite useful. Besides, it's a great conversation starter. "You know I was hammering away on my anvil the other day when the strangest thing happened." That topic doesn't pop up too often in your average water cooler conversation. They will bask in the glow of your awesome!

[PASSPORT29]

In first seconds of the video I thought it was a anvil.

[wwbwbgohbc]

1:07 is where I'm at.... it's an anvil

[Limastudent]

Now you can start a blacksmith business in one of the buildings! Great idea how to move it. I would never have thought of your idea.

[goirkens]

OMG I've only seen those in Looney Toons! 8D anyway, if you want to recycle it, maybe you can either use a dolley or get some more of those metal pipes, lay them on the ground a few inches apart and leading to the truck, and then just roll the anvil over to the truck. As far as lifting, maybe get a bunch of guys together to lift it into the back of your truck. Just make sure it doesn't fall out while you're driving! 8(

[Radiowave440]

THats a Anvil,

[H3artOfaBaller]

An anvil ?

[ZOOWYE]

it's a blacksmith tool!!!

[evildead454]

I would paint it black, draw ACME on the sides, then drag it to the garden for a decoration.

[airn09]

put it in your museum! :D

[finalfantasy4everock]

I bet if the TJC were to use a metal detecor in the garden, or back yard he would find hidden peicesof swords, or knives, or who knows, even ninja stars! I'd be out there looking for stuff like that for sure if I was him! :)

[Jrod311]

Get another one, some gunpowder and blow it about 100 feet in the air!!!

[BurlesqueKitty]

Sweet an anvil! Now you can make Samurai swords! ;)

[oscarscheepstra]

Coyote would be thrilled.

[Keichan2501]

Wow I thought anvils never existed. Kind of like the unicorn or tooth fairy.

[lunhil12]

Yes, a very nice sized anvil. Keep it and I guarantee you will find it useful when you need to beat a metal tool or somesuch back into shape.

[61924]

I bet I can lift it.

[Kayzzzzification]

if it weren't for looney tunes i would not know what the heck it is! 

[c2thew]

ebay shows that the anvil is worth $250-350

[chrisscarber]

its an anvil

[monkeyboy4746]

Judas chair.



[gearsgirl88]

Anvil, took me about 2 seconds after seeing it lol my grandpa has one out at his farm! :)

[CptEddyPrice]

just start crafting your own Katanas i will buy them :D hehe jk

[falitosis]

Instantaneous

[falitosis]

Anvil

[myanime101]

call me a lier but i think its a anvil

[realessence]

Like how you moved that heavy thing with the Egyptian method.

[Kastoli1]

You'd probably get ALLOT more money selling it as an Anvil than as scrap metal...

[thomasburman1]

Smidesstäd on Swedish , i got 1

[nagaempress]

Keep it you can use it to hammer things on!



[OzziePete1]

If you are not going to sell it, you could have it in your own farmhouse workshop. It would be handy to use when bending wire, bits of metal etc. Or you could place it beside a fireplace, clean it up and have it as an objet d'art & a pretty good talking piece for visitors?

[portercbl]

Keep it! You never know when you will need one. You will be surprised when you suddenly use it for something.

[Ditre]

must have been a very self sufficient farmer that use to live there

[HaggisMacfee]

I'ld clean that anvil up, it'll make a nice piece of interior

home decor. After all it is a farmhouse you've bought.

[TheDBF1]

You can use it for a conversation piece in your man-cave!

[NqkoisitamBG]

Anvil retard. LoL It took me like 1 millisecond of seeing it. Damn I must be a genius or something :D juuuust kidding :p.

[Leecher4711]

My grandfather had one of those anvils ... its not uncommon ...

[jimmytran1993]

All i know is, Jerry threw this at Tommy a few times

[shadowace421]

he should use the anvil for 99 smithing

[TommyTurntables1]

Pull up a floor board and push it under the house ;-)

[MegaBitGamer]

Hey you found what looked like a training Bayonette that had no handle and broken off tip

Maybe who ever lived there made them at one point.

There where lots of farms where they made those during war erea

PS bet you could get good money for that thing

collectors and all

[Jim45NH]

You are so lucky, what a find! By-the-way are the walls of that shed mase of the bamboo and mud method as in the house?

[noleme80]

maybe it was used for making katanas... ;p

[TheCameronDobsonShow]

its a anvil thank god i new that one from engineering at school

[dragade101]

I wonder where the forge was/is or did they only do cold shaping?

[agooch7890]

that is a ASO anvil shapped object its not the right material to be a real anvil

[awsomguitarman]

you should start making katanas with that!!

[shadowshand]

anvil



[Peter1Europe]

eBay This !!!

[grangersmith]

I'll bet it was once a tool used by the previous owner's ancestor.Probably a family heirloom! That is so cool, I have not seen one of those for years, maybe it means you need to learn how to do some metal smithing in the future. Don't recycle it, that would be a crime in my eyes, donate it to a museum, keep it around, use it, don't scrap it.

[shadowicewolf54]

lol every farm house has an anvil....

That one looks alot like my grandfathers. They are very heavy.

[chromelemon]

Its an ANVIL!!!! Do I get a prize for getting it correct?

[FanbertA3]

Keep it, i´m a blacksmith and anvils are very expensive. Maybe you will need one some day ( anvils are very usefull. not just for hunting roadrunners ;) )

[hitachi088]

that's a paper weight.

[walkitout1963]

Anvil

[dupe1100]

I think I know it. It's called Kajidai. kajishi who make katana use it. Japanese 鍛治台

[newt888]

work like an egyptian ;-)

[edwyrd]

there's the anvil that goes with the swage block ya threw out! keep a look out for the rest of the stuff. if you do not want it, sell it. in the US they go for a about 2 bucks a pound used now, in japan, who knows, advertise it, please do not just throw it away! maybe some in your wivies family has a use for it or knows someone. sell it them.

[noirnegro]

maybe if you can post it on an online ad there, some one might just buy it and pick it up. Interesting piece

[talfacprez]

Anyone who is well educated in animated cartoons from the late 1930s through the 50s knows exactly what an anvil looks like as well as people who watch western where there are horses needing more horse shoes made. LOL

[kirisutonosubete]

Maybe sell and then fund more restoration. I am sure those wall paper guys (fantastic!) aren't cheap. Good luck and thanks for sharing your house adventure.

[yokohamaguy75]

Hopefully you can sell it. Anvils are not cheap! Any other metal working equipment in there?

[hypnos315]

every old farm house needs an anvil on a stump

[hitachi088]

@hypnos315 on a stump? why, mine is on a big concrete block...

[Bucko9765]

what sorcerer lived in this house before you?

[monkeyboy4746]

Keep the anvil, one day you will be dragging it out to use it, it will not be used very often, but no other tool can take its place.

[MrLolwut88]

If it's a forged anvil it can go for about 1500 USD.

[romanobritish]

Those are expensive I have looked at old ones and new ones the old ones always cost more because most blacksmiths that I know would rather get the older one's which I think are better made.

[Tcadkisson]

Every man needs an anvil.

[scusucks]

Even if you don't sell it. it's quite nice as a decoration piece in a workshop :)

[Yakfuji]

It means the blades you found in an earlier video are a little less sinister and less random :)

[kinda0suprise]

years ago my dad had one of these.. lol

[kinda0suprise]

its a weight used for blacksmith :p

[sagargdeshpande]

ACME is looking for that

[PurdyBear1]

PS: We have a lot round here as they traditionally use them to make horse shoes here in the UK. They now use them to make metal gates, and so on.

[PurdyBear1]

Yep its a blacksmiths anvil

[PurpleSparkle2007]

That means Wile E. Coyote was there :O

[TheLolol09]

Anvil...

[JetMechInJapan]

Sorry iPhone typing Probably

[nokomarie1963]

0:45 Anvil!

[Relatharr]

Indeed they are heavy. Also, they make lousy parachutes, as Daffy Duck found out.

[JetMechInJapan]

@thejapanchannel that's a pretty heavy anvil it's probity weights as much as your k car, well as much as mine too I got the same car. Let them laugh it's good on gas and the road tax is cheap.

[thrashfan911]

ANVIL!!!!

[TurquoiseTokki]

Try to figure out how old it is. If it is old a place that has recreated the past like that village you went to might be interested in it.

[Degenskonto]

Anvils are worth quite alot of money.

[mectechman1]

I'm more and more sure that this former owner had a technical interest or side, a lot of stuff seems to be of that nature.

Could you please make a small portrait of him (or them) who lived there and some history of this place and area? That would be very interesting to know more about.

And well done to you for all the restoring so far, very interesting to follow that too!

Cheers

/mtm

[12Dryburgh]

That anvil must have been a heavy piece, especially when its that rusted. Keep up the videos I love um.

[nipperkun1]

日本の民家に良くこんなものがありましたね。

使っていたのはよほど器用な人で、自分で機械の故障や農機具の手­入れができる人なのでしょう。

[lcalcorzi]

anvil

[teagm003]

Hey, I'm actually a blacksmith by trade, you might e able to sell that for A LOT of money...

It seemed pretty heavy, maybe 80 - 90 pounds by the size... If you set it on a stump and hit the center of the face, if the ring you get is long and sort of deep, you have yourself good anvil. The 'horn' is called a bic, the short flat section behind it is the table (used for cutting), the long flat section is the face, the square hoe is a hardy hole, and the small round one is the pritchell.

[pakan357]

kovadlina

[ayendal]

Do you think you could find some metal in one of those rooms and forge a katana?

[guitarczar15]

sell it on japanese craigslist

[TubaBuddha]

an anvil, probably used to fix metal tools or implements You may want to decontaminate yourself touching that! Love the work outfit you have on. Total prol outfit.

[Denkiiy]

Put it out on your driveway close to the road..Sounds like a good name for that old farm house..

[VictoriaNova]

Do you have any interviews about what Japanese think of left-handed people? :)

[onmilo]

I'm betting that old guy has an engine hoist around there somewhere, if it is a wheeled engine hoist, you can move that anvil!

[orangetangopink]

An anvil for anviling.

[onmilo]

That old man who owned the place wore a coat of many colors.

I like him and I have never met him! :-)
