For those living on the West coast, don't despair. I'm from Portland, Or. and in the last two years that I've been looking I've found 3 rivet/farmer's forges ( one at an estate sale marked 10.00 for "iron tub"). I've bought 2 anvils, 125 lb. farriers and a nice little 89 lb. Peter Wright for 125.00 each. I've had the most luck with post vises, I have 5 from 35 lbs.to 90+ lbs. and only had to pay for one. It cost 50.00 and when I got it home and cleaned it up found it was a Peter Wright. My first post vise was found under a neighbor lady's woodpile in her garage. I have to admit two of the vises and a large 3'x4.5' Champion Forge came from a family trip to Kansas. I also found a nice Buffalo Forge drill press. I have used Craigslist, the newspaper, local magazines with classified ad sections and word of mouth. I have found many smaller tools such as hammers at garage and estate sales. I watch e-bay but the prices are usually way too high, especially with shipping for anything heavy. The tools are out there! Good Luck!
