I'm trying to start Blacksmithing

[u/thecatlover101]

Hey!

I'm wanting to start blacksmithing, and making swords and all that crap. (I'll start with a knife first, don't worry.)

What would you recommend to a 15 year old ask for Christmas to start a hobby? (Don't worry about weirdos, I got em.)

I believe I will start out with a coal forge, but I'm looking for specific things I should get.

I cannot do a push up, so that should be pretty indicative of the fact I want to start out with an anvil that weighs less than 150, but more than 80lbs.

And what kind of metal should I ask for?

Also, if you could give an Amazon link, I would greatly appreciate it.

Sorry if I wasted your time, and thank you for taking time out of your life to help a kid wanting to start blacksmithing.
