Congratulations Tuomas - your Anvil is the Homemade Tool of the Week!

Interesting win. We always consider Thanks votes in deciding the winner each week, but we rarely see such an outpouring of votes in favor of one of the top contenders that it outweighs any of the other deciding factors, especially when so many of those votes are from previous winners.

Further interesting is that railroad track anvils are extremely common, which makes it more difficult to win with such a tool. I believe this is our first winning anvil, and I think we chose a good one. My best guess is that the popularity of this one is based on its small size, its shape, its aesthetically pleasing base, and of course the excellent watch-me-build-it video. You can't help but walk away from this video thinking about building this tool.

Some nice picks this week: a Lathe Cutter Height Gauge by rgsparber, an Extended Point Live Center by rossbotics, a Rotary Mower by Vyacheslav.Nevolya, a High Speed Spindle by Christophe Mineau, a Bench Bull by morsa, a Small Bead Turning Tool by Christophe Mineau, a Sander by webby's rigginations, as well as a Wood Lathe by webby's rigginations.
