Ringing an anvil

[Otter]

How many of you out there have ever heard of ringing an anvil? Post a reply either way as this could result in some pretty good humor. Hint- It is not hitting the anvil with either a workpiece or a tool.

"ringing the anvil" is an old tradition in which an anvil is launched into the air with gunpowder...

sounds like a good time....

[Red Badger]

there are a few youtube videos about it and I believe an episode of mythbusters had it on....

 Awhile back they actually showed it on the history channel, there are some pretty big competitions on it.
