For cold work, you need a hammer and some hard object. That's it. Anvil, swage block, piece of rail, random scrap steel, or even a hard rock. That's it. It's really not expensive at all, unless you're buying a whole bunch of brand new unnecessary stuff.

I started out with a rail-anvil I bought for $67, a few hammers and peens for $40, tongs for $20, and a forge for $140. That was more than enough to get started. If you live somewhere that that's a lot of money, you probably also have a guy in the area who does similar work and has extra tools, and your biggest expense will be fuel for hot work.

We live in a world where hundreds of millions of people are literally starving, dude.

We're on a forum to talk about video games, where the entry price is about the same as what that person just listed out.

Someone should gift them all copies of Baldur's Gate 3 so that they too can experience the premier sound design in the latest installment from Wizards of the Coast® Dungeons & Dragons™.
