  1. I know just what you mean thats the kinda person I'm exactly looking for haha
  2. I was thinking of coal as my forge source and I'll definitely look into the northeast blacksmiths assoc
  3. Thanks for this advice and I will certainly take it into use
  4. I'm saying I'm not looking for perfection and it's way to cold to start anything where I live right now that's why I said winter I'll start on a steel block if I have to which is technically an anvil just with out the horn or hardy hole. In the spring time thats when I'll start the actual smithing and crafting
  5. I don't know how to smith at all this will be my first anvil so I would like to get one that is in good condition and that has a horn and hardy hole at least
  6. I already have a lot of money more than $150 so if one comes up that I really want them I can buy it and some time in the spring I'll just start driving around and looking at garage sales or seeing if people have them lying around to try and buy them
  7. Ya thats what I was thinking I'm not looking for perfection I'm looking for something to get me started
  8. Well my limit for the price is 125 I would love to get an 100lb-150lb anvil but I just don't have the funds necessary
  9. I'm also willing to buy any tools that you don't want/need
  10. I was wondering if there is anyone in the wilbraham Massachusetts area that had an old anvil they weren't using. I'm willing to pay $125 and below I'm looking for a 40lb-80lb anvil if possible.
  11. I was actually thinking about going to a career/tech school and to see if they have a metal shop and I think I'll have a good chance of getting into one
  12. Thank you so much for that story I wish that schools were like that now'a'days but now everything is "oh the kids are going to get hurt or oh that's not safe." And it drives me nuts because they don't know us some of us are rather mature for our age and wont do the stupid xxxx that they think that we'll do. Thank you for the styrofoam information because that's actually how I was going to start out but I think that I'll just get myself some molds, clay, clay tools and some flasks. I'm also trying to see if there is a safe teacher around were I live that can teach me around he ropes
  13. Ya I'll definitely use all safely precautions while melting and casting
