My first choice would also be the chili however my wife surprised me with a single burner bladesmith forge for my birthday. Its just like the chili just square and the opening is smaller and goes threw the forge, thankyou my love. I have had it since august 28. So I have a question, have you played around with the air flow slide much on the burner? I installed a psi regulator and run my around 8 psi.

Thank you to all who have answered my post. Some very useful advise and crazy stories. They have all given me inspiration.

I don't have the out door building to make a smithy at home. I could use some of your ideas to help me in my search for my future smithy!

my new and first Anvil! I found this laying along side of an old RR track not in use. I was able to grind down the rust and i'll be painting it flat black on the base tomorrow.

Hello to every one my name is Travis and I am very new to the blacksmithing world. I am a member of this and also NWBA. I hope to make it to the next hammer in at the longview clubhouse. I have just picked up my first anvil and its a RR track about 30 lbs now ill be working on a forge. I dont have a place yet to set up shop but i was thinking of renting a storage unit. Or maby my Mother-in-law has offered some of her space however I am quite sure it will be loud and drive her crazy. More to come any-how nice to meet everyone and if anyone lives around me maby we could hammer sometime. Later!

Very nice find. It looks better than my newly acquired RR Anvil. I'll get some pics on later.
