[TheForge] Little Giant advice sought

Original Message:
I'm about to set up my 25# Little Giant in the new shop -- actually
it's a Jardine (aka Canadian Giant) knock-off of the LG.

Now for a brief bit of local history:
J. A. Jardine company was from Hespler Ontario (now part of Cambridge
Ontario) and made a number of blacksmithing tools.

At Fanshawe Pioneer Village, London Ontario; they have

- wheel up setter
- shears/punch
- rim roller
all made the Jardine.  All are working fine (after some TLC by self and Ron
the handyman/volunteer at the village).

Other local companies are
Canadian Forge and Blower out of Kitchener Ontario, bought one of their fire
pots from another smith, as new for $150.00
Royal Blower from Guelph Ontario.
