Humor indeed, chasing the wild goose?

or go to just beyond the middle of nowhere, then right on the dirt road, then right again when you come to Snake Creek. You may pass the old sawmill run by Cooper Corbett and maybe an alpaca or two but keep going. About half way up Snake Creek you will find the LLC.

You have located the company that makes the Mark Hammer, have made deals with them before and feel they know you by name, then why not ask your questions to the company. Post #5 sounds like you are acting as a sales agent for the company.

Put the money (cash) in your pocket and be there at 8 am tomorrow morning. Take a look at the anvil in the daylight and decide for yourself if it is worth the investment.

All it takes to make the anvil pay for itself is just 14 each $20 items, or 20 each $14 items. The anvil should pay for itself in 30 days. Strange how inexpensive anvils are when you price them in that way.

There is a whole section on IForgeIron devoted to just anvils, 1849 topics and 20,568 replies.
May I suggest What do you need to get started in blacksmithing which explains the basics.

Call the smiths in your area and explain you are trying to get started in blacksmithing and ask for their assistance. Ask if they know of any gatherings in the area, hammer ins, events, etc. Nice and polite and carry two notebooks for notes goes a long way in the blacksmithing community. Generally you will not have to ask to use an anvil, if you show enough interest, it could be offered.
