Had to choose between a new anvil or a better forge for my truck setup.

Went with the NC Tools anvil, cost me $800. My old forge still works but shaping shoes takes twice as long now. Anyone else face a gear upgrade choice like that?

Remember when we all argued about buying the good vise first?

Tough call on the anvil over the forge. I get it, a good anvil is a forever buy. But man, if your old forge is making shoe work take twice as long, that's a real hit to your day. It's like having a fast hammer but a slow fire. You might end up saving for that forge upgrade sooner than you think, just to get your time back.
