[SEL] Blacksmithing / Anvils / Humor (OT)

[Steve Gray]

   I have an old engine and Dodge Bros. collector for a friend up the 
road who holds an annual anvil/cannon shoot get-together every Labor Day 
weekend. He does this as a "Test Firing" for the 'real' anvil shoot 
that's he holds the following week in the mining town of Columbia, about 
3 miles from me. I shot a video of one of his shoots about 3 years ago 
and it's available at http://www.oldengineshed.com/videos/anvil.mpg (the 
guy lighting the fuse is actually a friend of his). The file's about 1.4 
meg in size. The noises in the background are the engines on my large 
engine trailer that was displayed at this particular meet (2004?). OBTW, 
The cannon shoot is also available at 
http://www.oldengineshed.com/videos/cannon.mpg (about 602k in size), for 
those interested in big booms!
