and thnx ill read up

how would i make an anvil stand im thinking maby just a big block of wood would work? i dont relly know much about them or what hight they should be or how big or if they need to be light or heavy. can someone help me out and maby post a few pics of their stands?

i once heard my friend telling me just take a blowtourch and cut some holes in dumpsters for some scrap but as thats illegal so i would just go to dumps sometimes they have cars their or some metal stuff and most times thier let u just take for free or a donut or two

thanks ill grab my shovle and my sisters hairdyer

and also if anyone can help me find a forge or help me make one that would be great.

thanks for all the tips but i still need an anvil but now i know atleast i need one of any size i can get so if someone has an anvil for sale or can help me trakc one down please let me know :)

thnx ill look for some books

im a begineer blacksmith i need a forge and my budget is almost all going to an anvil i dont know much about forges other then thier hot and they use coal or gas can someone help me out?

i could use it give some info

i like the stand i would have made one but i just use an old locker near my anvil for my tools

i need the weight to be around 300 so it can cover 300+ or 250+ i relly want something close to 250 or so becuase i hit alittle harder then average but 300 can cover alot of anvils so it gives me more selection

im disinging my sword and i know the materials im makeing the hilt out of i just need to know how to attach the hilt the the blade
