    Hello,

    I'm just wondering there is any change to find thats kind job where I can work (makes some money) and learn in blacksmithing...

    I see some offers in Poland but they need full proffesional blacksmiths, the same situations is in Czech Republic (but they have normal school for blacksmiths - in Poland we don't have this)...

    I ask because I'm a welder with primary certifications 135 and 141 who I can't improve (too expensive for me and Firm don't want invest in employee), Now I'm looking for any job opportunity in metal industry anywhere on Earth (Yes I have passport), but I really want try it in blacksmithing...

    Maybe you hear about that kind opportunity... If yes please give me some hint, how find this...

    I see we have the same problem, yes diffrent country but still difficult to buy some cheap, 100 kg anwil cost slightly 1500 zł (465 US Dollars) so I'm still looking for. Now I homemade simply anvil (big word anvil) with profile "C" I'm cut and make horn and I weld this. I' use two 2" pipes for legs (one leg = two pieces pipe weld in T). Legs are not parallel. When I first use, wow what a terrible noise, I'm fill up pipes sand, and in profile "C" I'm put wool (I have some from aunt isolation for chimney). Now is OK, quiet little heavy, I make this some times ago I use for cold blacksmithing (rectification and bending) :D

    I want make chaep coke forge (build or weld), but I don't want use brake drums, I prefer plate or firebricks.
