I'll try to respond to everyone on here in one post. This is going first to last, in order of time posted. In response to the first, I did commit the beginner sins. I have read a few of the threads, and I did ask a question that's been answered, however, I only started a new one that was more location dependant. In response to the second, thanks for the advice, I'll have to look through that. In response to the third, I have had that idea previously, and I'm thinking that's the best way. It is however, hard for me to go and do things like that, since I can't drive. In response to the fourth, I apologize for the mistake of confusing the London pattern with the cube pattern. The only reason I disregarded the cube, is because in all the searches I've done, I haven't seen a single one of those. I wasn't questioning their ability to be used. I was hoping to check barns, but old warehouses and factories in the city as well. Thank you for the information about the blacksmithing conference, I hope I can go. I will have to read more about that and the quad-state round-up. Thanks to anyone who gave time to comment, I will try to use this advice.

Hello to anyone reading this. I'm a beginner blacksmith. As in, I have almost no materials yet. I'm almost done building my forge, so I think it would be a good idea to acquire an anvil. I've read a decent amount of articles and other forum discussions on anvils for starters. I know some people recommend a piece of railroad track, or a small, square piece of steel, but I want to get an anvil. I think an anvil is the better choice, because it will last me farther on down the road ( feel free to give any persuasive advice on this). I've scoured the web, trying to find an anvil at a price I can afford, but I haven't seen any. My maximum price is only about $100. The reason I came here is to see if anybody had an old anvil that needed restoration work done to it ( Or possibly could point me to someone who does?). I'm located in the Dayton, Ohio area and I can't travel very far outside of there. Thanks for your time, God bless.

Thanks for the advice. I will be able to build up money. I have a $10 an hour job. My struggle isn't that I couldn't get money, it's that I have other things to buy. I think that if I can't find an anvil before quad-state, I'll buy one there. Thanks for your time and helpfulness.
