Setting up a blacksmith shop for the first time can be an expensive proposition. But with some budget friendly tools it is possible to get started on your journey in blacksmithing.

With a starting budget of around $500 I believe it is possible to acquire the basic tools needed, forge, anvil, hammer and tongs. As well as materials to learn basic skills and even make a simple product you can sell to recover those costs and keep moving forward in the craft of blacksmithing.
