Just signed up, and I too am in the aquisition mode. My wife says that I've been there for the 23yrs we've been married. I've been playing with fire and metal for a long time, but after I got my dad's 65# anvil, I knew I had to have a place for it to live. I'm in the process of putting a lean-to on the back of my garage, and set up the "village smithy" That way, the "village idiot" has a place to hang out. Now, all I'll have to do is plant a chestnut tree.
Look forward to talking with y'all from time to time.
