On the cost of blacksmithing...

[andronikos]

My current adventure has had me away from my Laurel's shop for far to long. So, instead of blacksmiting, I have been reading about blacksmitihing.

I found a useful chunk of information that I wanted to post, concerning the cost of setting up ones own blacksmith shop.

Bellows and tuyere iron ........ $5.35

I think that must be from one of the books I got for you... did you enjoy them?

[andronikos]

It was, and yes I did enjoy them very much. Thank You!!!

Interesting to see which things have gone up the most. A hammer for a quarter of the price of a drill press? Oooh, but think of what a 1901 drill press would look like! Oh, wait, I got distracted. The anvil is not as much more than everything else as a good anvil is now. Huh.

And I just noticed that you friended me. I don't look at that list much... like every 6 months. Sorry!

Cost of a shop

Inflation...Heck yeah

An anvil costs at least $9.50 now-a-days
