What do you think of my dad's anvil collection? Thank you to him for filming with me and making his TH-cam debut! If you want to get the History of Fisher and Norris book, you can get it for 10% off through June 20th at fishernorris.com/shop
I know he's mostly got vintage anvils but has he by chance purchased an Alec Steele anvil? He's another youtuber that does some pretty cool black smithing and has started to produce his own anvil for folks to get started with. I'd be very curious to hear what he thinks of Alec's anvils compared to his collection and vast knowledge of anvils in general.
Well this was a surprise topic. Your dad looks and sounds like a terrific guy and someone that would be fun to hang out with. You were adorable interviewing him and coming up with an anvil versus puzzle hobby competition. This was a light, heart lifting video. Made me more interested in anvils than I would have ever thought I would be. I'll definitely check out the book!
I saw the title and thought cool, he'll have 20-30 anvils.. My jaw about dropped when I saw his collection. He has some serious time and money put into that, cudos to him!
My dad died many years ago but I know he would have loved this book and definitely would have been delighted to take us to an anvil museum when we were kids visiting New Jersey (would have been a nice break from the Sterling Hill Mining Museum, our most frequent destination).
His collection is HUGE!!! I wonder how much it all weights together?!?! I love the fact that you both have big collections, you both are passionate about it. Me and my dad are like this too, but he does puzzles with me sometimes (even tho he completely abandoned me in my WIP - a 2k my biggest yet and the one I'll finish today)
I recently purchased the Fisher & Norris book and found it to be a very enjoyable read and well worth the price even without the discount. Kudos to the Kavett family for the effort put into making it. Gosh Karen, you're so cute!
I got married over the anvil at the original blacksmiths in Gretna Green. I was slightly worried when the lady hit the hammer on the anvil on either side of our joined hands but my husband and I were unscathed haha. It was amazing feeling the groove worn into the anvil and thinking of how many hands have rested in that exact spot over the centuries, going through the exact same life-changing event. They gave us a tiny anvil replica as a memento which now sits on my desk. The main thing I collect is probably books but I've run out of space so I try to buy ebooks and use the public library more. My dream is to one day live in a big enough house that I can turn one room into my own library.
What a sweet Father’s Day episode. I am a blacksmith and have 3 anvils that luckily don’t need moved often. Cant imagine moving all of those. Your dad is great.
This was surprisingly wholesome, I have no interest in anvils but it's always so nice to hear people talk about what they care about :) Also this video lowkey convinced me that I might like a ~book~ about anvils lol
I love to see people speaking about their hobbies with so much passion! Congratulation on the collections, and the BOOK also! Nice work, it's good to see that you support each other so much in your family!
I have friends in the modern blacksmithing community, and one of their constant complaints is how expensive it is for a beginning blacksmith to buy a new steel anvil, and also how difficult it has become to find vintage iron anvils in usable condition. In my personal opinion, tools were made to be used and to have a purpose. I wonder if your dad would ever consider getting involved with the modern blacksmithing renaissance, and perhaps letting go of a few duplicate pieces (at a reasonable price, of course), to help foster those trying to keep the blacksmithing traditions alive.
I love uncommon collections ! I have never seen someone collect anvils, this is awesome. I collect anything insect related- plushies, figurines, toys, books, etc, the weirder and more unique the happier it makes me. I also am trying to collect more vhs and dvds having to do with obscure old horror and obscure animes. Having a rare find and taking care of it could mean preserving a part of history and it makes me incredibly happy.
One thing is for sure, you will always know what to buy each other for special occasions. Loved this episode. I know you cherish the time spent with your dad. Hugs
Congratulations to your father on his book. It takes a lot of research, time, love, and dedication to author a book. My grandfather would have LOVED his anvil collection and I've no doubt he would have made a special trip just to see it.
Wow! I never thought I needed to see an anvil collection. That’s amazing! Your father seems to be a great person to talk to. I absolutely loved anvil vs puzzles so thank you for that and for answering Lorelai’s question haha.
I love seeing people show off their collections! I collect Mold-a-rama figurines. I currently have 449 unique ones, including many extremely rare ones. I just love showing off my collection and telling people about it.
I got a little bit emocional when you were both talking about how the book was a family project! Maybe because I love seeing people talk about things they love... You’re awesome Karen, I’m a huge fan of you and your job! 💕
Book: I absolutely loved this video... You and your dad are just adorable together. His collection is amazing and I spotted the nod to London with the red telephone kiosk. What a hero!
I didn't know there was a BOOK about anvils. It was interesting to see all the anvils. The one question you forgot to ask was which anvil took the longest to "put together."
I love how each video you post, theres not a second where your not smiling. I dont mean this in any negative way, but have you always smiled this much throughout your life?
620 anvils in a building together suddenly made me obsessed with anvils lol. Would love if your dad did an anvil-themed puzzle video with you to talk more about the history of anvils :)
That would be a good comparison in the German language, where "heavy" and "difficult" can both be described by "schwer"... So which collection is more heavy/difficult?
I love history and it is great that your dad has collected these pieces of Americana. My dad would have loved both the museum and the book. Thank you, Karen’s dad!
I would have never clicked on a video about anvils if it weren’t for you but as with most things, if you listen to an enthusiast, almost every topic is interesting. I inherited my mother’s Button hook collection. I love them dearly! Button hooks were used to close buttons on leather gloves (as you only have one hand to do it) and boots.
Your channel popped up on my recommendations and now I'm reminded of how much I enjoy puzzling. All thanks to you! Just ordered three art puzzles and will spend the next few days binge watching your videos until they arrive.
Mr. Kavett has an impressively unusual anvil collection with a written illustrated book! I especially like his extended collection of the red fire engine 🚒, and the caboose, too! If I knew what to do with an $1125 anvil that's being sold with your dad's book - I might buy it! 😁 Thank you for sharing your dad and his one of a kind anvil collection - amazing!
I loved watching this after binging a lot of your more recent videos- especially knowing you now OWN your two “white whale” puzzles!! The Snow White and brown bear ones!! Congrats :)
What a special collection your father has. And how nice that he wrote a BOOK about this. Really special. I myself save complete TV series on DVD. I just need to find the time to see them all. ;-)
Book! I recently found your channel and have been binge watching your videos. I like how you were able to incorporate your dads collection while sticking with the theme of your channel.
You inspire me so much Karen, I have been following you since the beginning of your DIY youtube channel I thought you left youtube, but I was happy to find out that you didn't leave but instead you started a puzzles channel, I remember a lot that you used to have a second channel where you would talk for like an hour or more and do online puzzles, I always enjoyed those videos, I'm happy to see that you pursued that passion and turned it into a youtube channel
Hi Karen, Loved the video of your dad's anvil collection and what an awesome video for all of your subscribers and their fathers. I love watching You Tube video's about people and the things they are passionate about, whether it be their job or a hobby, or whatever. When you get around to creating your own puzzles, you have got to do one using a picture of your fathers anvil collection. Since the anvils are the same shape and mostly the same color, it could be quite a challenging puzzle. Oh yeah, the "book" looks like it would be a very interesting read.
Aww i love this video, it makes me miss my father who passed away couple years ago. He had a huge collection of random items and he wouldve loved an interview like this
Thank you, I love the video! My dad had a wood working tools Collection. I just loved it! My sister has a puzzle room in her home, all over the walls and ceiling. Its my favorite room!
Hi Karen a puzzle suggestion I have if you haven't already done them are wasjij. It's basically a puzzle but backwards. The picture that a puzzle usually gives you this gives you a picture but you will be putting together what one person in that puzzle sees. So the picture they give you isn't the picture you will be making. I don't know how much sense this makes.
Papa Puzzles is the sweetest! I love your relationship with your Dad. I also have a great relationship with my Dad. Happy to see you able to spend time with your family as well. I’ll be buying the book for my coffee table. I’m sure it’ll be a great conversation starter!
Your dad makes anvils sound really cool - a solid and reliable product, still in use after they were produced before 150 years. Such an enduring quality! I'm sure the book reflects the history of the US in a way. Regards!
Dear Karen, I greatly enjoyed that video with you and your Dad. What a special yet cool hobby to collect anvils! But even more I enjoyed your affectionate time spent together. The bonds to our Dads are very special, and though mine passed away several years ago, he is still with me in my heart. Have a great time visiting your family and many greetings from Bavaria.
Karen. Thank you so much for sharing this video. Your dad is just as sweet as you and it was so fun to watch you both nerd out about your individual interests but also find interest in each other’s hobby’s! So sweet!
Wow, that's quite a collection! This was strangely interesting although I have to admit that I don't even know what an anvil is used for - other than as a weapon in old cartoons. LOL
So great that both you and your sister contributed to your father's book. You must have just edited this video because you managed to get my puzzles in there!
Oh my! I love this! I never ever thought this would be applicable to bring up (pretty much anywhere) but according to family history, my dad's family brought the first anvil to North America 🤷♀️ strange family facts
Congrats on both your collaborative video and book! It’s great to see those anvils have found such a nice home in that museum and I especially love Karen’s vintage puzzles, very cool!
Interesting video Karen. Many years ago I came across a small anvil at a garage sale and picked it up thinking that some day I might want to give working with brass a try for my model railroad. Never happened and I resold it at another garage sale. I was surprised at how fast it sold. At 70 yrs old I have gotten pretty selective about what I buy so I will not be picking up your dad's book. Eventually someone is going to have to come in and clean out this house which about 1/2 to 2/3rds is my mother in laws stuff which she refuses to thin out. 2500 sq ft jammed to the gills. I really hope your dad has given some serious thought to what will happen to his collection after he passes. Looking forward to your monster puzzle getting finished.
This was such an unexpected and cool video! I'd never really given anvils much thought beyond the Roadrunner and Coyote cartoons. But after watching this I was curious and did some learning about why they're shaped the way they are, what they're used for, what they're made of and so many other things about them. Love learning new things! And it's awesome that you, Katie and your mom collaborated with your dad on the BOOK🀄📖☺️
Ah the anvils! I remember you showing them a long time ago, probably on another channel. Nice to see them again! and I LOVE that a viewer sent you a couple of the Worlds Most Difficult jigsaw puzzles. I've been dying to see you do one of those. And OMG The Beatles White Album puzzle!!! AAAHHH! Book!
Yep. Definitely the most random video of yours that TH-cam has told me to watch. Curious how he got into anvils and it's nice to see your connection with each other. Also, likely lots of lead up in there!
This was such a nice video to watch, Karen!! I didn't think I would've ever clicked on a video about anvils (firstly because I didn't know what they are 😭) but aaahh they way you made it work and uploaded it to your puzzle channel is awesome!!! Hearing both of you talk about the things you feel passionate about filled my heart with happiness 🥰 Thank you so much for sharing this!! I need to check out the book now🥳
Your Dad seems lovely. He reminds me of my father in law, who also loves old tools. He hasn’t written a BOOK though. No strange collections here, but I do have 375 puzzles currently.
What do you think of my dad's anvil collection? Thank you to him for filming with me and making his TH-cam debut!
If you want to get the History of Fisher and Norris book, you can get it for 10% off through June 20th at fishernorris.com/shop
really cool! I want to get into collecting stuff, idk where to start
I didn’t actually know there were that many anvils in existence!!
I know he's mostly got vintage anvils but has he by chance purchased an Alec Steele anvil? He's another youtuber that does some pretty cool black smithing and has started to produce his own anvil for folks to get started with. I'd be very curious to hear what he thinks of Alec's anvils compared to his collection and vast knowledge of anvils in general.
Does your father created the anvils or buy them and do he use them? Impressive collection
You didn't ask what I actually wanted to know: Who pays for those anvils?? That could be over a million dollars worth of anvils in that room
this has to be the most random and unexpected thing i coulde asked for from a puzzle channel thank you karen
hahaha, it's always a surprise!
a surprise for sure, but a welcome one!
true this girl is awesome. i hope one day she shows us how how to change brakes on our cars....
Karen is such a unique joy
"Thank you Karen" lol. 😂
Who knew Karen was the heiress to a Anvil dynasty.
Yeah, not just riches but having Anvil Money!
Lmfaoo
Well this was a surprise topic. Your dad looks and sounds like a terrific guy and someone that would be fun to hang out with. You were adorable interviewing him and coming up with an anvil versus puzzle hobby competition.
This was a light, heart lifting video. Made me more interested in anvils than I would have ever thought I would be. I'll definitely check out the book!
I'm sure you'll love the book! Thanks for watching!
And this answers Lorelai’s question of “Where did all the anvils go?
I about fell out of my chair the first time I saw that episode 😂
Came here for this ☝️
Definitely what I was gonna say 😂
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING
which episode is that one again? it’s been a while since i’ve seen gilmore girls
As a Gilmore Girls fan, I can finally sleep in peace now that I know where all the anvils went. Thank you, Karen!
The best episode!
Same! First thing that popped into my mind
We found the “secret anvil storage facility”! 😅
I saw the title and thought cool, he'll have 20-30 anvils.. My jaw about dropped when I saw his collection. He has some serious time and money put into that, cudos to him!
My dad died many years ago but I know he would have loved this book and definitely would have been delighted to take us to an anvil museum when we were kids visiting New Jersey (would have been a nice break from the Sterling Hill Mining Museum, our most frequent destination).
I discovered the museum web site earlier today and ordered the book. Then I ran across your videos showing the museum. Thanks for the tour.
His collection is HUGE!!! I wonder how much it all weights together?!?! I love the fact that you both have big collections, you both are passionate about it. Me and my dad are like this too, but he does puzzles with me sometimes (even tho he completely abandoned me in my WIP - a 2k my biggest yet and the one I'll finish today)
It's over 30 tons altogether! 😳
What is a WIP?
@@vegskater1741 Work In Progress.
I don’t think I’ve ever even thought about an anvil and now it’s all I’m thinking about. This is so cool!!! I love both of your collections 🙏🏻
This is a great idea to promote your dad's book right before Father's day. Glad you're getting to visit your family at last!
It was a great visit!
I recently purchased the Fisher & Norris book and found it to be a very enjoyable read and well worth the price even without the discount. Kudos to the Kavett family for the effort put into making it. Gosh Karen, you're so cute!
Amazing, thank you for getting one!
I got married over the anvil at the original blacksmiths in Gretna Green.

she is so wholesome, her smile is so pretty 🥰
You're so nice!
Amazing! Your content is so pure and positive and happy. I love it!!
the ABSOLUTE JOY on her face talking to her dad about their collections. heartwarming. 🥰
What a sweet Father’s Day episode. I am a blacksmith and have 3 anvils that luckily don’t need moved often. Cant imagine moving all of those. Your dad is great.
The better question, Karen, is not how many puzzles but how many puzzle PIECES do you have?
My son loves puzzles and my husband loves anvils - I have to show them this video! You and your dad are just so sweet together.
This was surprisingly wholesome, I have no interest in anvils but it's always so nice to hear people talk about what they care about :)
Also this video lowkey convinced me that I might like a ~book~ about anvils lol
Oh my gosh, seeing you and your Dad bond over and appreciate each other’s respective collections was so sweet!!!
I have never had a question about anvils , but now I have SO MANY!!
And they're all probably answered in the book 😂
I love to see people speaking about their hobbies with so much passion! Congratulation on the collections, and the BOOK also! Nice work, it's good to see that you support each other so much in your family!

Wowa...what an amazing collection he has. Can you have an Anvil puzzle made for your dad for Fathers day?! That could be cool. (book)
620 anvils in a building together suddenly made me obsessed with anvils lol. Would love if your dad did an anvil-themed puzzle video with you to talk more about the history of anvils :)
He doesn't do jigsaw puzzles, but everything he knows about anvils is in the book 😂
@@KarenPuzzles Well darn but fair enough! Better get the anvil book then 😊⚒️
That would be a good comparison in the German language, where "heavy" and "difficult" can both be described by "schwer"... So which collection is more heavy/difficult?
His is definitely more heavy! And if you were to actually use them, I think blacksmithing is probably more difficult than puzzling 😂
I love history and it is great that your dad has collected these pieces of Americana. My dad would have loved both the museum and the book. Thank you, Karen’s dad!
P.S. I’m glad that you finally got to visit your family, Karen. We need a video with your sister and her 3D puzzles.
Book!!!
My husband loved the video. Thanks for sharing. Love your dad too.
I love that you and your dad are both collectors and understand each others love for your collections🥰👨👧
I would have never clicked on a video about anvils if it weren’t for you but as with most things, if you listen to an enthusiast, almost every topic is interesting.
I inherited my mother’s Button hook collection. I love them dearly! Button hooks were used to close buttons on leather gloves (as you only have one hand to do it) and boots.
"I'd love to take it out on a long-term loan." I totally thought he was going to say "I'd love to take it out for a walk, maybe a dinner."
hahaha, well at 1400 pounds, that would be a logistical challenge 😂
I remember when you first showed your dad's BOOK. I had no idea his collection was so large!! That is awesome! Thank you for sharing!!
i love it when families are big fans of each other's work. it waters my crops and dries my tears.
book!
Your channel popped up on my recommendations and now I'm reminded of how much I enjoy puzzling. All thanks to you! Just ordered three art puzzles and will spend the next few days binge watching your videos until they arrive.

Beautiful video Karen it teared me up to know how close you are to your father. He looks like he is a great guy to talk with!
Love this! The sacred responsibility undertaken by honoring the craftsmen and all those who relied on the anvil in their lives.🌹
Aww i love this video, it makes me miss my father who passed away couple years ago. He had a huge collection of random items and he wouldve loved an interview like this
I could watch you and your dad supporting each other and being all-around wholesome for HOURS! So sweet!
Thank you, I love the video! My dad had a wood working tools Collection. I just loved it! My sister has a puzzle room in her home, all over the walls and ceiling. Its my favorite room!
Wow it is cool to see people dedicated to their passion. Your dad seems like a great guy also, it is great the family got together to write a BOOK.
That is an amazing collection ❤
I don't know much about anvils, but they look so cool! Can't imagine the amount of history each one has 😊
Aaamazing collection!! and very rare,, he looks so gentleman and sweet..
You’re so pure and positive!! These videos are literally the best part of my day!! 😊

Amazing, thank you so much!
Awesome video. Very interesting. I really enjoyed seeing you and your dad sharing passions. Congrats on the BOOK
🧩
I’m happy you finally got to go back home ☺️ your dad seems so sweet 🥺 book 📚
I love that your dad watches your videos!
He follows my video stats more closely than I do!
His Book must be amazing for anvil lovers! Very informative :)
Your dad makes anvils sound really cool - a solid and reliable product, still in use after they were produced before 150 years. Such an enduring quality! I'm sure the book reflects the history of the US in a way.

The bonds to our Dads are very special, and though mine passed away several years ago, he is still with me in my heart. Have a great time visiting your family and many greetings from Bavaria.
Omigoodness, I love your Dad! His face when showing his favorite anvil was priceless. I hope his book does really well.
Awww, your wee dad is so sweet! This video is precious. How lovely that the book was a real family project 💛
Karen. Thank you so much for sharing this video. Your dad is just as sweet as you and it was so fun to watch you both nerd out about your individual interests but also find interest in each other’s hobby’s! So sweet!
Wow, that's quite a collection! This was strangely interesting although I have to admit that I don't even know what an anvil is used for - other than as a weapon in old cartoons. LOL
It's used in blacksmithing! We made sure to put a glossary in the book so it's accessible even to people who have never used one.
Such a treat to meet your Dad. Love 💕 the “book”.
You dad is so sweet. I can not wait to read the book. And great video Karen.
So great that both you and your sister contributed to your father's book. You must have just edited this video because you managed to get my puzzles in there!
They arrived just in time while I was finishing up the editing, and it was the perfect clip for that part of the video!
Oh my! I love this! I never ever thought this would be applicable to bring up (pretty much anywhere) but according to family history, my dad's family brought the first anvil to North America 🤷♀️ strange family facts
Wait that's amazing! What a cool story!
What an interesting book! It's sweet to see your Dad's passion and also his support of your projects!
Congrats on both your collaborative video and book! It’s great to see those anvils have found such a nice home in that museum and I especially love Karen’s vintage puzzles, very cool!

Family resemblance between Katie and your dad! Your dad's 'book' looks really interesting.
It was a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Kavett, and to learn about your anvil collection. Karen, I greatly enjoy your puzzles as well. Book😊
Thanks for sharing your dad and his impressive collection. It’s such a joy.
This is so wholesome! I'd be sure to show my dad. He will love this ❤❤❤
What a fun video! Fun to "meet" your dad and his amazing collection / book.
This was such an unexpected and cool video! I'd never really given anvils much thought beyond the Roadrunner and Coyote cartoons. But after watching this I was curious and did some learning about why they're shaped the way they are, what they're used for, what they're made of and so many other things about them.

#Book. Happy Father's Day Karen's dad! Hope you have a great one. It is always nice to see someone with a passion whether it be puzzles or anvils.
What a big collection! 😯 Both of your enthusiasm are so endearing. Book!
I was so psyched when I saw you made a video in the museum. This did not disappoint.
Ah the anvils! I remember you showing them a long time ago, probably on another channel. Nice to see them again! and I LOVE that a viewer sent you a couple of the Worlds Most Difficult jigsaw puzzles. I've been dying to see you do one of those. And OMG The Beatles White Album puzzle!!! AAAHHH! Book!
Karen, perfect idea… can you make a puzzle 🧩 from a photo of the anvil collection??? That sounds like a great puzzle to do!
This is such a sweet treat for Father's Day! I love a person with interests, and it's great to meet one of your family.
This is so wholesome! 😭 I love seeing people collect and talk about the things their passionate about!
Yep. Definitely the most random video of yours that TH-cam has told me to watch. Curious how he got into anvils and it's nice to see your connection with each other. Also, likely lots of lead up in there!
This was such a nice video to watch, Karen!! I didn't think I would've ever clicked on a video about anvils (firstly because I didn't know what they are 😭) but aaahh they way you made it work and uploaded it to your puzzle channel is awesome!!! Hearing both of you talk about the things you feel passionate about filled my heart with happiness 🥰 Thank you so much for sharing this!! I need to check out the book now🥳
Your Dad seems lovely. He reminds me of my father in law, who also loves old tools. He hasn’t written a BOOK though. No strange collections here, but I do have 375 puzzles currently.
So cute seeing you with your dad! Glad you both are safe and are able to share your love for collecting!
How awesome! That’s one of the most unique collections I’ve ever seen.
