Yup I'm already on that, was going to use a valve so I can dictate the airflow.

Yeah right now I'm just working with a RR bracket and a DIY forge that I made from cinder blocks, red brick, and cement. I got the noob setup going for sure but eventually I'll be upgrading when I figure things out and improve my skills. So far I made a pair of tongs that I'm pretty proud of and been practicing forge welding. I'm thinking my next step is to get a decent anvil and then a decent blower. Right now I'm using my shopvac here is a pic of my setup. Maybe you guys can give me some tips. p.s in no snowflake so I encourage any structural criticism.

500 - 600$ is my budget but I'm just looking to make some knives mostly. I wanted that fisher bad but the owner never called me/emailed me back so I moved on.

Found another anvil today and was wondering if anyone could ID it. There is a #10 marked on the base other than that no visible markings.

Thanks for your expertise fellas. I'm happy to finally come across a good quality/well known brand.

I know this a crappy pic but I found an anvil for sale around here which was difficult. The owner said its about 120#, in good condition and is asking 375$. Can any of you guys ID this anvil?

Well right now I'm using a railroad bracket which does the job just fine but eventually I want to make a solid bench out of 4X4 that will hold my vise, anvil, hammers, and tongs. My problem is height. I know I'm eventually going to get a London style anvil so I figure I'd get it now so I can build it to a comfortable height. As for budget I was looking to spend around 500$ - 600$

I live in SW Florida and I'm having a really hard time finding an anvil. Was wondering if you fellers know of a good place/website to score a good anvil from.
