About this byline
Articles on anvilmade.com carry the byline The Anvil Made Team. This is a composite editorial credit. It means:
- Drafted by one or more of the five founders: Barton, Blake, Kate, Brooks, or Claire.
- Technically reviewed for accuracy by Phil Vanderslice (engineering background) and Lyon Smith (operations).
- Where the article involves a partner product, additional review by the manufacturer’s engineering team (e.g., Progressive Products for Ceram-Back® content).
- Updated on a regular cadence; every article has a “last reviewed” date in the byline.
We do not publish AI-generated content that hasn’t been read end-to-end by a human. We do use AI tools to research, draft, and edit, but every published word has a human’s eyes on it before it goes live. If you find an error, tell us and we’ll fix it.
