Any blacksmiths here?

Russ, did you ever think of doing castings? Thats really what I wanted to try
Keep looking, im confident you can find a anvil and maybe things like tongs reasonably priced

I've had my share of castings, I used to make bronze plaques in a foundry.

Harbor Freight has a 55 pound anvil on their site. Funny part is, the thing has pretty darn good reviews.
55 lb. Rugged Cast Iron Anvil

I did see that one before I bought this little one. It's nice that it has a hardy hole, but I didn't care for the horn.
