[TheForge] big anvil

[John Frankl]

Nice. Are you using Chuck's steel and hardening it yourself, or do you
have something else in mind? I'd like to hear your plans. If you check out
Chuck's video ($25.00 and it shows each step that goes into making the
anvil, worht every penny) you will see that there is a ton of work
involved and a ton of high tech/high dollar equipment used to do that
work. All in all, his anvils are a great bargain.
