    Thank you for all the welcomes. Attached aree pics of the railroad rail anvil that came with the forge. I do have a question though. What grease do you guys recomend for the blower gears? I need to grease the gears of the blower I got and didn't know if there was a type I should get due to the heat and all.

    Hello all. I’m from Brunswick MD. I’ve been thinking about blacksmithing for about a year now, recently a friend of my wife gave me a centaur style coal forge, a rail road rail anvil and some coal about a month ago to get started. Finally found a blower for it (actually it’s a Champion Forge & Blower Co. No.60 Hand air pump. But it will have to do till I can afford a proper blower.) for $30 . I'm realy looking to get into tool making and such. Been reading The Complete Modern Blacksmith by Alexander G. Weygers as a starting point for learning the trade. Anyways I look forward to conversing with everyone here and learning all I can.
