  2. Hi all I am looking for an anvil as I am just setting up a blacksmiths shop at the railway works where I work. My boss has kindly offered to pay for a new one. So two questions:- 1) Where can I buy a new anvil? 2) What sort of size would you recommend? I will be undertaking all types of work, so a general size. Thanks Paul
  3. Hi John Thanks for your reply. My application to join the Blacksmiths Guild is in the post. Yes, I did have an item entered for me by the college. It was a poleaxe, which was my first year project.
  4. Hello, I'm Paul. I live in Southampton, UK. I have recently found this site and thought I had better introduce myself. I have recently completed the first year of an artist blacksmith course at Chichster College. I am an engineer by trade, but have always wanted to learn blacksmithing. (And hoping a chance to change career is not too far away.) It's great to have found a site full of like minded people and I look forward to tapping into your combined knowledge. Cheers Paul
