    Yes, they are. I have a small anvil that I use to beat metal straight.
    The anvil always wins.

    When actually used for forging, they can also teach a lesson about
    the coefficient of restitution. If you fail to hit your part with
    the hammer, most of the energy you put into the hammer will still
    be available as kinetic energy, going in the opposite direction,
    towards your face...
