As I am trying to get into blacksmithing and I don't have much money to get my first anvil I'm trying to get input about how to best proceed. Which of these options would work best? 1. Make a rail road rail ASO 2. Buy a 55Lb Cast Iron Anvil like this one from HF 3. Buy a smaller (22Lb) real anvil like this one from ebay Any advice would be most helpfull. Thanks for reading.
