      Cheaper yet, a section of discarded railroad track and a home forge. Total spent: $100 Vs $150 for a decent anvil alone.

      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

      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.
