I know nothing about metalworking or anything related to being a blacksmith but have been curious for some time now. I'm getting ready to leave the Navy and hopefully my next job will give me the time and money to give it a shot. Well, off to go search through the forum and learn something.

Great bunch of people on here with all the patience in the world for newbies. As you will no doubt be told, grab a drink and pack a lunch, then start your research. You will be here a while!

Akula-Hunter...do I know you? I'm in Oak Harbor when I am on land. Retired out of NOPF. Now riding on the Vicky.

Peddinghaus makes a 44LB anvil for about $400:

Not too sure how big an anvil you were looking for. All good hobbies need to be expensive and time consuming :D

I believe Peddinghaus was bought by Rigid tool co. Home Depot is the authorized dealer and you may be able to have them order one for you.

It's worth checking into anyway.

I just hope it works.

If you try and it does, please let us know, it may be a relatively inexpensive way to get an anvil to an otherwise inaccessible locale.
