Hi im just starting in blacksmithing and i need advice on how to start. I havent made a forge yet but i was fortunate enough to find an old crank blower and a few anvils at my new home and i have been visiting this site for quite awhile so i have a general idea on what to make but i need advice about other tools and the initial building of my forge please and thank you.

Basics of forging: Something to heat it---forge; Something to hit it on---anvil; Something to hold it with---tongs.

Next step up would be a postvise.

With these you can make anvil tools like a hardy bending forks, scrolling jigs, etc.
