I’ve got a question

[Zachary Hile]

What is the best way to get an anvil. I’ve been looking at an Olympian hobby anvil but I’m not sure if that is the right choice.What should I go with for my first anvil?

Here's a couple threads to help you on your way:

After reading those threads, the best advise is to go with an easier to find and afford improvised anvil to build your forging/hammering skills while you work the TPAAAT.

Scrap metal, flea market hammers, and improvised anvils will get you started. While your at the flea market look for a heave sledge hammer head with or without a handle to use as an anvil. JABOD just a box of dirt is a good working forge.

Read all you can to build a knowledge base that you can work from.  TPAAAT will help you find anvils and many other tools. It may take a little time to show the first results, but then you will be getting more and more results as TPAAAT works.
