[SEL] Blacksmithing / Anvils

[Rick Rowlands]

I've done a bit of research on anvils and there are about three or four 
anvil makers on the web.  Only one makes forged anvils but apparently they 
have been discontinued and two of the makers is in the US.

All of the makers offer anvils in various sizes. I don't think it would be 
wise to go through the effort and expense of a series of patterns for anvils 
until it is known that there is indeed a market for what I would produce. 
We will just have to see how successful our first offering is.

Rick
