Alright, i want to get into blacksmithing, but still want to be able to transport my equipment. I figured i could start small and build my skills making bow tips (because i make longbows), and steel rings to put around flutes ( becuase i'm making them too) and maybe knives. I was hoping you guys could give me some insight as to what i need to do this. First steel, then smaller anvil( can you help me on this what is a good size that has good surface area, but not to heavy),hammers, tongs, and somekind of small forge ( this is where i need the most help, making a "small forge".) Thanks
P.S. how would i make arrow heads. something like this
