Hello,

I am looking to make/ buy my first anvil. I have been looking at 2 choices so far. A railroad track, or a 55lb. cast iron anvil. I was wondering what would make a better starter anvil?

Hello,

i was wondering if I built a forge with a forced air blower from the first link, that is 14 inches long(air tank), 2 inches of insowool, a layer of satanite, and itc-100, with the blower from the second link will I be able to reach forge welding Temperatures? Also where would I put the burner on the forge?

how much is it? how much does each bag contain? also an address?

do you know if i could buy it in seperate bags?

I live in Ohio but I am willing to make a drive to get some good coal.

Does anyone know if Dennis coal is still open and what their prices are?

I found a website that has 2 places in Ohio that sell coal 

http://www.blacksmithsgazette.com/Blacksmithing/coal.htm

it has some pretty cheap. Any other recommendation on where to buy some in 50 pound bags? Or if these are really good deals

Should I just make a coal forge? I live in Ohio and coal is pretty cheap.

I don't need a very large forge,  Not that much big stuff, mostly small stuff. And i would like to be able to build it if posibly

I am looking to build my first propane forge. I am pretty sure I want to build propane over coal. If anyone has a better idea please tell me. I am looking for a forge design that I would be able to do forge welding in. I am pretty sure I am going to do a forced air burner. I know I need to have 2 inches of insowool or kaowool and itc100. Any ideas on how large I should make it, what shape i should make it, and any good burner designs?
