Yeah, I got it. Thanks all :D I just needed something with a horn and half decent edges. My only anvil at the moment has a broken horn and rough edges, but good rebound (I think).

Thank you very much, will look into that. Failing coke, is smokeless coal an alternative?

I was using my make-shift forge today with a new bag of coal. The stuff usually produces a lot of smoke, sometimes with a greenish tint, but today it was quite a lot worse. It got the the point where I felt ill and just gave up. I am going to build the chimney a bit higher, but, where can I find a supplier of coke in the uk? I think that it burns cleaner and hotter, or I think so anyway. I live in haywards heath, about 40 miles south-ish of london.

*edited to remove the bits that made no sense, putting it down to the smoke :unsure:*
