Blacksmith/Bladesmith supply - Dallas Area?

[Jeremy V]

I'm starting on my first forge tomorrow afternoon and have managed to locate all the supplies I need except for an anvil and tongs. Anyone know of a supplier in the Dallas, TX area?

Thanks,
Jeremy

It is an hour or so south of you, but here is one:
AP Tool Company. They make anvils and farrier tools.

For tongs and blacksmith tools, Tom Clark is great,too:

There is a feed store in Grapevine that has tongs. It is on Main Street by the Spider train. They do not have any other tools though and they close by noon on Saturday.

Check out Emerson Horseshoe Supply in Shreveport. They make the Emerson anvil. I have their 200 pounder and stand and love it. The number is 318-742-5991. They aklso have tongs, hammers, etc. They are good people to deal with.
