    Alright thanks. I am going to use mainly a 2 - 2.5 pound hammer, maybe 3 pound. If I get some extra help then maybe a 4 pounder. Are these too heavy? Thanks Yeah I bought for $200. On the horn there are marks over it that looks to be from a grinder (there's a picture). Will this affect the work? Also, do you think the edges are too chipped for tong making? Thanks so much for the help

    No it was my fault. I didn't realize he was trying to help me find the results. I was confused at navigating through the forums at first, but know I figured it out. Thanks for all the help,

    Can anybody suggest a few begginer projects that will help me learn the basics, before I get into more complex things such as knives and carving tools. Thanks

    It is 99 pounds exact. What do you mean by heavy forging? I will probobly make knives, carving tools, hardware supplies (nails, hinges, etc), tools, and forging equipment (tongs, hardy tools, and hammers no more than 3 pounds. Is this too small for an anvil? Thanks Here are some more detailed photos:

    I am new to blacksmithing and don't know what to use. What oil you guys use to quench for hardening, as well as what you use for quenching while forging, such as for cooling the tip of a nail before passing it through the header so it doesn't get stuck or flattened? Thanks so much Your multiple question post has been split into multiple posts and placed on the correct forums.

    I am new to blacksmithing and don't know what to use for material. I was going to use rebar and railroad spikes, but heard they don't work that well. I am looking into making knives, nails, and different types of tools. Is there any other scrap/not expensive metal I can use for forging these things? Thanks so much Your multiple question post has been split into multiple posts and placed on the correct forums.

    Hi, What are your opinions on this anvil? Is it too beat up or small? It is a Fisher about 19 inches from end of face to tip of the horn. Thanks so much Your multiple question post has been split into multiple posts and placed on the correct forums.
