[TheForge] Cheap anvil & forge in NE Ohio

[Michael H. Murphy]

For what it's worth, I bought a 100-lb Vulcan anvil a few years ago --
almost mint condition.  I used it mostly for demos because I didn't want to
carry my 276-lb Hay-Budden around.  It worked real well for me, and still
does.  The edges are sharp enough to make the shoulders for nails, and they
have held up real well.  I'd like to find a 200- or 250-lb anvil that good,
and in as good condition.
