>     Where do you buy an anvil for jewelry work?

    I do a fair amount of decorative iron bending and some novice
    Blacksmithing as well as work in silver... Please try the ABANA
    (Blacksmithing's version of this Orchid) website- just google it.
    They have a for sale and wanted section and you will find many smiths
    out there that can refer you or talk you into what you need... and
    DONT BE AFRAID OF LOCAL BLACKSMITHING GUILDS! These guys are great!
    They can sometimes forge a good, custom anvil out of a piece of
    railroad rail for small work- make a set of stakes for custom
    hollow-work, or in some instances allow you to use their different
    anvils to figure out which one you prefer! (Yes- there are MANY
    different types of anvils... I would up buying a small Farriers'
    anvil as the long horn allowed a variety of sizing options and the
    narrow face was close and convenient for smaller detail work) 

    Kayne and Son in NC sells a variety of anvils- and they not only
    sell, but use the anvils they work with... 

Best of luck!
