One Australian knife sharpener was considering to use metronome for pacing sharpening. His issue was middle overgrinding problem caused by spending too much time in the middle part of the blade.
Just out of curiosity, Mr. Mark, what is the mass of your anvil and what is the mass of your favourite hammer?
I just thought that it would be a nice homework for your future metallurgy students to describe the physics of anvils. It seems that already Isaack Newton was involved in resolving the riddle of hammer and anvil. Many studies quote his term coefficient of restitution in which he embodied the hammer speed before and after the impact.
