how to make a blacksmith happy

[monkeywright]

OK well guess I've been a good boy this year cause Xmas came early for me the dear wife knows that I've been dulling over some new and better blacksmith toys and I found some the them that I've been looking for and the Dear wife said that I can have them (giddy as a school girl on prom night ) picked up an anvil, forge, 2 post vice, blower, 12 tongs and a few other little toys for the low low price of XYZ plan to pick them up this weekend but was going to share a few pics that he sent me today so keep a keen eye out these were a real steal the anvil is a little light (75lbs.) but for this price I'll take it but out side of that everything sounds like I found the deal of the week

still have a few irons in the fire so was going to find out if this is the right place to post extras that I run into if they turn out to be worth the price ?
so with a little luck maybe we can pass along the goodies that we find here and there

Cool score, alot of this stuff is coming outta the woodwork now that people need the money. There are a couple anvils and forges back here on craiglist I'd like to get but need to get more moola first.

I picked up a Hay Budden, 165 lbs a few years ago for 85 cents a lb. That was the way they were priced back then
