Where is the best place to buy an anvil. I'm just looking for something not to expensive. I have a gas forge and want to just tinker around with making some knives with old files, cold chisels, and band saw blades. I thought I might get by with using a chunk of railroad tie for an anvil but have not been able to get a chunk. Any suggestions?
thanks in asvance for any advice.

Try harbor freights 110lb anvil . for a little over .50cts. per lb it's great for beginners or the novice.

Harbor Frfeight has their 110lb cast steel anvil on sale now for about $60.00. Some people condem it and for sure one can do better. But for the novice, I feel it's a good choice. I have one which I use all the time. I do demos at a local museum and there I use very good antique anvils. So I know the difference and I,m happy with my harbor freight anvil.
