Another widely used anvil tool is the "bottom fuller" which... is hardly named for its function, to make iron thinner. In appearance the fuller looks like a blunt hardie with a rounded edge. One holds the iron over the fuller and hits it with a heavy hammer, creating a dent and this is repeated along the length of the stock to be thinned. 3, record 1, English, - bottom%20fuller
