I really appreciate everyones input, and a lot of very reasonable advise as well. So, let me pose another question of you fine people's. What, in your opinions, would be a good all around anvil, for say under 700? I will probably never get into large projects, mostly just small to medium blacksmithing items, and knives, maybe a sword some day. Theres so many designs out there, and I am really only starting to learn anything. Any assistence would be greatly appreciated.
