Here's a site you need to check out- http://www.anvilfire.com/

I've been smithing for around 10 years. I do a fair amount of decorative work for gates and fences. I've also built several wagons and carriages. My current shop is just large enough to house a forge, anvil,tools and have enough room to work out of the weather. If all goes well this summer I'll be able to build a shop large enough for smithing and carriage building.
