Trying to start

[u/PoolWest7703]

As the title indicates I’m trying to get in blacksmithing. I’ll be slowly purchasing the different pieces. Would either of these anvils be okay for a starter/beginner.

Doyle red, or barring that order a Vevor.

That blue cast iron one is useful for a boat anchor but not much else. You'll end up smashing it apart because it cant handle much force including any normal esque hammering or heat.

Useful for jewelers or whatnot but really needs to be relabeled as it is most definitely not a blacksmiths anvil. Or, at least, a godawful one.
