How did you get started into blacksmithing? At what point did you start making your own tools? How'd it come out? lol I've seen some videos and it looks time consuming but worthwhile.

Hi All, I'm thinking about starting here ---- I've looked through the forums and am highly inundated with information. (which I presume is a good thing) For a beginner, if I wanted to purchase anvils and blacksmithing tools --- are there any particular brands that stand out? I'm looking for basics now but power tools in the next few years. Any suggestions help, thanks!
