No, I'm not a member of any of the guilds yet, but I see that the Tidewater Blacksmith's Guild is in Virginia Beach, which is great, I'm in Chesapeake!
Anyway, while I've had an INTEREST in smithing for most of my life, I've never had a chance to do more than a little playing, and reading. I'm a macinist by trade (and hobby), but that is the closest I've been able to get to smithing, so far.
I rescued a little anvil from the scrap pile (!) at work, maybe that'll help me get started.
56lbs, nothing left on the tag but a ghost of a border around whatever text was there. The whole thing, other than the face, is covered by a thin layer of a Bondo-like substance...I can't imagine anything other than a cheap anvil being dressed up like that.Maybe it's a good tool, maybe it's an ASO, but the price was right. :D
