[TheForge] Auction

[The Johnson's]

I went to an auction today at a 150 year old, 4 generation farmstead. A 
Peter Wright 1 2 9 went for $575.00 (Canadian), a 4 inch post vice in 
terrible condition went for $100, a homemade foot vice went for about 
$80, 8 or 10 chipped and broken hardies went for $75. A lot of antique 
dealers were causing high prices on a lot of the items.

I bought a grinding stone for $40.00. It is 10" across the face and 26" 
in diameter. Weighs at least 250 or 300 pounds. Too heavy for everyone 
else. It has a 1" axle with a belt drive wheel on it. Anyone have any 
ideas how I can set this monster up and get it spinning using manpower.
