    If you already have an anvil, forge, hammer, & tongs you're already ahead of the game compared to most 'beginners'. I second what Frosty said,...hooks ("S", "J", and drive hooks) make great beginner projects and they're useful! Nails are a good project as well but you'll have to make or buy a header. I wish you good luck!

    I don't make a lot of money on Etsy but I do sell a few things a month...and I've never spent a penny on advertising, photographers, etc.  For me it's a way of generating a little income for metal, etc on the months where I don't do shows. It's also great to make sales to people around the country that I would have never sold to otherwise. I've also had a couple of custom order requests and wholesale orders. Hard to beat a 20 cent investment toward a potential sale!
