 Anvil Works is open by chance or appointment: Call 304-754-3282
to schedule a visit.
Anvil Works' studio is a versatile workshop for art metal projects. It was designed
and built
by Lee Badger in 1998 to be a
creative space for his work as a metal designer and artist-blacksmith.
Specialized saws and trip hammers surround a variety of forges,
anvils, swage blocks and vices in the hot work area. Contemporary cutting and
welding tools share space with traditional blacksmithing equipment. Compressed air and electrical power tools join forces with hand tools, racks and workbenches.
 The
work space is designed to be flexible and accommodating, depending
on the project underway. The focus is on hot-worked metal, primarily
iron and steel,
but non-ferrous metals and sheet metals are often included in the variety
of work. Many different types of artistic shaping, bending, twisting,
forming,
joining and hammering can be accomplished here. |
