    i'm cheap when it comes to buying anvils and i would pay that for it so i would say it s a good deal

    well how much you got to spend depends on how you would do it you could pay a tool and die maker or you could get some good steel and cut ,grind ,machine it into the blocks of steel to you get the shape you want just remember that its a mirror image in the die wether or not this is the right way it has worked for me in the past when i had to forge a large quantiy of old military parts for a place i worked at some time ago

    a 7 foot long forge what are you try to forge that you need a forge that long any way if you had a pic of it it may help it sounds to me like you built a forge like the comercial ones out there the one we had back in shop were like (about 4 foot long though)that they were gas and the burnners came in the sides and the top didn't sit on top of it it was on a piviot and sat a few inches above the forge walls and could swing the topaway if needed

    i have been wundering how many people who have post drills really use them i have had one in the family long before i was born and i used it when i was a kid just really messing around and for the last 25 years its been stored under the steps not being used . dad thought it was funny letting me try to drill a hole with it when the cam dog was not engaged :mad:
