Amazing story. I also leave in Cambodia. Hopefully we can meet one day. I am in Phnom Penh. I have build my own «Anvil » from IPN. Just to add on your story, those anvils arrived in Vietnam at 1st as at the French colonial time all ship arrive at Saigon port. Sihanouk Ville was not build yet.
Great stories! Beautiful Anvils. Glenn's channel has helped me tremendously in my blacksmithing journey! Love his style! I watch a cambodian blacksmith make knives, axes etc.. some of the most talented smiths I have seen . Humble, and very basic tools,but that is all you need ! Fire ,hammer something to pound with and on!! New subscriber here!! 🤘
Thanks for your really nice and intresting story. I completely understand your passion. Myself I have 3 anvils. The oldest one is from 1899. I can't get enough of them ;-) Greetings form Germany.
That is a nice story. I have a couple of anvils, but for me they are just something to beat on. I did have a nice little one I was partial to, but I wasn't using, just admiring it. So, when a fella offered me more money than it was worth, I let it go. Nice history on that one, thanks...
