We have an old homestead not far from our house that has a permanent old blacksmith shop and our local smithies do demos, etc. One demo and my hubby was hooked! We happened upon a yard sale one day not long after that and as we were looking around we spotted a huge anvil on its log stand. It was in our price range and the rest, as they, is history! We have found a lot of vintage tools at various places and now he is looking forward to moving everything up north to our new place we are building.
