i'm meeting an old guy around the corner from me with an anvil for sale.. i'm expecting it will be real old, what should i look for to know whether it is good or not? like brand names, condition, or weight? thanks -jeff

WOW! thank you for the offer, what kind of stuff are you working on? i would love to check out your place some time. i have a lot of free time over the winter, so i'll be in touch. thanks again. jeff

my name is jeff and im 29. i live just outside of phila pa. i'm into old hot rods so i bought a welder a few years ago so that i could do my own fabricating, then a couple months later i bought a bigger welder and i have a lot of fun with it. now i weld all the time. so i do landscape and masonry work,, i just built a fireplace at my house so i decided i want to build my own fireplace tool set... while researching how to do it i came across this site a few days ago, and i cant get enough of it. i'm very interested in learning about this trade. i dont know the first thing about blacksmiting so i will be asking alot of questions.. thanks in advance. -jeff
