[TheForge] Good ole days ?/ sayings

[Dan Scheid]

thanks
Now has anyone had a saying come back to haunt you? I had someone  tell the
saying that you are to TAP YOUR ANVIL every third stroke to keep the devil
away..Hours later was teaching a class and had an idiot  POUNDING  my anvil
every third stroke  damn near toss him out of the shop.

who has a N.Z. and a USA  gold(ish) coin under his anvil
maybe one day it will make me money  :-)
