This Is a Must-Have Guide for Every Blacksmith!
Whether you're a novice or veteran blacksmith, it's likely important to you that you have the very best tools and equipment. However, with so many choices out there, and so many new ones introduced each year, it can be difficult to decide which ones to invest your money in. You'll definitely want to get a high-quality anvil and forge, but how do you determine what's worth the money?
Well, we recently found a handy buying guide that spells out all the anvil and forge choices for 2017 and explains the pros and cons of each. This way, you can decide which one is truly right for you. Plus, this guide cuts down on the time it takes to find the answers to these questions, and we're all for anything that saves time and helps makes things more efficient so there's more time to focus on more important things — like blacksmithing!

Cheaper yet, a section of discarded railroad track and a home forge. Total spent: $100 Vs $150 for a decent anvil alone.
Jerry Brock, anything you can gain from this article?
Um…I think they forgot to link the guide? I didn’t see anything except what appeared to be an intro to an article that wasn’t finished.
Lmao. Never mind. There was a link to buy it on Amazon.
Pro tip: if you’re worried about saving a buck on finding an anvil, you’re not going to buy a book to tell you how. You’re going to ask your blacksmithing community.
Pro tip 2: if you want to save a buck on a forge, you’re not going to buy a book to tell you where to buy one. You’re going to google (and ask your blacksmithing community) how you can build one. Whether you want to build a $30 coal forge or a $70 gas forge. Or, YouTube how to build either. I think there are $20 coffee can forges on there too

Pablo Martinez here’s an,idea! Thanks original post!!
I’ve seen them, and know how to make one. Takes a lot of work but worth it in the end. It’s about $40 a foot, I’d probably would make one 1 1/2- 2ft long. You can finish one end to be horned. I can make one for a out $100.

Thanks, I still have my grandfather’s anvil that was passed down to my father and now down to me, this is a great thing to have when you are the only one who knows how to use them right.
