[TheForge] B1 Beverly Shear- 14g cutting

[Fiorini & Skiles]

(sending to thebellows and theforge)
I am considering purchasing a B1 Beverly Shear, or the next size up.  The B1
says it cuts up to 14g mild steel.  Has anyone done this?  Does it shear the
14g easily, or is it a struggle?  14g is about as thick as I would go, but I
don't want to be wrestling the shear (with 2 hands and my body weight) every
time I cut it.   I need to use one hand to hold the metal and one hand to
operate the shear.

p.s.  I would consider buying or trading for a used one, if someone has one
to get rid of.
