No, he's an IDIOT because the hardened cold chisel is cutting gouges in the workface of the anvil (see 1:15). Such disrespect for one's tools smacks of either incompetence or resentment of one's job. A good anvil typically costs a full month's pay in many developed economies, and a lot more in less developed ones.
If you look more closely, you'll see ample cause to be unimpressed ... such as his failure to protect the steel working deck of the anvil from that hardened steel cold chisel (say, a piece of 1" steel plate, secured with a tie-down insert). Just look at all those gouges in the anvil ... that's a sign of someone who either doesnt respect their (or their boss's) tools, or who simply doesnt know any better.

1:15 He's ruining the workface of that anvil with that cold chisel. id have rigged a piece of 1" steel plate secured to the hardy or pritchel hole. Let IT take the wear. The anvil is worth more than a month's work.
@@beyondmiddleagedman7240 THAT is an anvil he is using, regardless of whether it was handmade in a back alley by some hobbyist (and yes, rail anvils are one of the most common beginner fabricated types) or if it was made by a big name corporate brand. I didnt look too closely, and more importantly I dont really care which type it is, but if it was fabricated to look like and/or be used like an anvil, then it IS an anvil. Im bored. And outta here.
