I recently got a 1.5# anvil for free. As soon as I can acquire some firebricks, I will make a small forge/smelter.
In the meantime, I am trying to figure out what I could even use this mini anvil for (other than a paperweight).
It is a Japanese cast anvil, with a single rounded horn, and a 2 by 5 inch face. Only markings on it are JAPAN along the base on one side.
I am interested in medieval weapons and armor.
At this point in time I do not have the funds to buy a decent anvil.
Am I just stuck making jewelry and chain mail?
