Oklahoma swage blocks (was Re: [TheForge] Mastermyr

[dann]

For more than a  year, I have been oogling the matched set of swage blocks 
from Centaur Forge that I saw at their shop at an UMBA meeting in 
Burlington, Wi,  ( and still hope to acquire  them)  but I  simply couldn't 
pass up  one of the  Oklahoma swage blocks in La Crosse.

I understand that one of the chapter members carved the pattern, and a 
local foundry cast them up.  They  sold as a chapter fund raiser at 
$75.  It really cleaned up nice.  It appeared such an excellent  value, 
that my wife smiled.   Mine  weighs  about 61 pounds.  Already put it to 
use, but now need to make it a permanent stand.
