Yeah it would have probably helped if I would have added where I am from. Butler pa. 45 min north of Pittsburgh. Thanks for the friendly response. I do need to do some searching on here. I guess what I was asking . What you guys that have been there done that. What was the first thing you started with. I figure i would try a sword. LOL! JK Crazy Ivan thanks for the info at the auction.

Hey Everyone. Just stopping by to introduce myself. So I've want to start blacksmithing since I was a kid. I've always thought of it as a forgotten art. But as I collect tools. Mostly from flea markets. I've come to learn it's definitely not been forgotten. I have a few pair of tongs. A 125lbs Peter wright anvil. Few hammers. I do have to put my forge together still. The problem I'm having is getting started. I went to an auction this past weekend and met a couple cool guys with a lot of info. Thanks Josh and Pete. What I did forget to ask. What should I start off. Any info from you guys that would be great.
