Just introducing myself. I'm 34, and am new to this hobby, I built a homemade gas forge out of an old propane tank. My anvil is an old sprocket I cut up and welded back together into a chunk of steel. It's rebound is like 40% but that's ok. A real anvil is on the way. I got the Ridgid peddinghaus #9 anvil. (75kg, or 165 pounds) perfect for me.
I will have questions as time goes on. Also I look forward to being apart of this community. Also my username is bustapepper because I like things spicy. Cheers
