[TheForge] Searching for an anvil and a kiln

[Daniel Kretchmar]

Wes,

I don't know the name.  Is he on this list?

I went on craig's list on Friday and I found a small kiln.  I am going
to check it out this morning.  I'll let you know what I find.

A local smith, Ray Carpenter, also has a 100# anvil that I am going to
look at for my friend, but he still would like to find something in
the 150-200# range
