The OFG's Anvil

[FredS]

An anvil is a gateway drug.
Then you need hammers, tongs, hardies, a forge, etc
Not to mention a stand of some sort. A good size tree stump is classic.

Of course once you have the basics, you can forge your own blacksmithing tools.
That's how apprentices learned in the old days.
A bottomless rabbit hole.

But think of all the money you save shoeing your own horses.

That's why there are turning cams on my Cliff Carroll---for cold shoeing.
Fire up the forge for clients and add an decimal point to the price tag for hot shoeing.
