Here is a stamping tip from @earth_and_agate - “I’ve been searching for an anvil forever but they are just so expensive. I found a great and really cheap alternative. I found an old vintage steel iron for 20 bucks at a flea market. I found one that was perfectly smooth. I turned it upside down and put it in a vise on my bench. And It works like a charm and has a large space for hammering. It’s completely flat and I’ve been using that ever since. I will continue my search for my perfect Antique anvil but until then I’m pleased with this 20 dollar fix. I hope this helps someone.” Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us Courtney! Love that it is an inexpensive solution and giving new life to that old steel iron :) #stampingjewelry #jewelrystudio
