Looking for start-up equipment

[flatbow]

Hi Everyone!
I LOVE this site!!! It's great to talk to all of you and read your answers and comments. My question is... Where can I find a good anvil and forge at a price that won't force me to take a second mortgage? Thanks for your help.

Charcoal, gas or coal? Just blades or other blacksmithing work? Want to build your own?
