I am a newer blacksmith, and I am going to the 2024 SOFA QS Blacksmith Conference. I have a 65lb anvil, what are the benefits of snagging a bigger one? 100-150lbs

Im still a fairly new smith, i recently started getting my steel to yellow temperature and there is much more slag. How do you deal with it? I have a hefty wire block but it seems to waste heat getting it all off.. should i just be knocking it off the steel carefully then keep going to save heat?

Preview thumbnail for Blacksmith Guillotine V2 - I spent many hours making this prick today... but it was worth it turned out nice. Don't mind my bad welds I'll reweld more if they break. They hold well though. Wasn't a big fan of the first prototype. image

I stopped death gripping my hammer and holding it right nice and loose with an adjusted handle. No more joint or finger pain but now I have a fat blister at the top of my hand from swinging correctly. Send help 😅🥲

Any hammer Smith recommendations? I got a killer 2.5 doghead looking for a good forged daily driver 2.5lb rounding hammer but I'm looking for options up to $120 or so.

Getting a stick welder next month, what sticks do I want? I have mild steel and 4140/4130; I think I want to make a guillotine tool and Hardie tools first.

Which pains are bad for you and which are good? Being a newer blacksmith I figure I have muscle to build in odd areas like fingers?

I'm still a newbie, thinking of getting a 2.5lb drilling hammer and making one side a rounding face. Thoughts? Tips? Haven't found any videos specific to this.
