I plan on buying a couple of real hammers before i start pounding, the three pound sledge is just my starting hammer. I was asking because I am just starting out, and I want to get the best bang for my buck. Luckily I live in east Tennessee so there are garage sales every weekend here. I saw a combo vise on Craig's list for 30 bucks so i thought I would ask some people with a little knowledge before I buy anything.

Hi I am very new to the game. I am looking for some tools to use. I currently have a 3 pound sledge and a forge that i created recently. I know I am going to need more hammers very soon. My question pertains to the anvil. Is there any advantage to getting a new anvil right away. or can i get a combination bench vise/ anvil? Any one out there with experience on this issue?
