Hello, I am just starting out and looking for a small anvil or rail section. I have tried forging nails on my vise's "anvil", but its surface and my nails were badly marred. I need advice on where to look besides Craigslist and Ebay. I am located in Los Angeles. Any pointers on what to look for in an anvil - such as material, weight, or signs of wear - would also be much appreciated!
