Description:	Shady Grove Blacksmith Shop
	A shop anvil of 150 pounds or more is usually preferred for a lifetime of blacksmithing. The late Francis Whittaker, a famous USA blacksmith, used a 150 lb. anvil all his life according to George Dixon who wrote "A Blacksmith Craft". A larger anvil can have both advantages and disadvantages. A larger anvil has more mass, doesn't move around or wiggle as much as a smaller anvil. A larger anvil has bigger work surfaces, which can be advantageous for most forgings, but can get in the way of more intricate forgings. A larger anvil usually has bigger and longer horns which extend out and away from the base/stand. That facilitates making big scrolls and bending long forgings.
