[TheForge] New tool

[Bob Ehrenberger]

Hi guys,

While demonstrating this last weekend I had a guy that sells old tools come
by to show me a drill press that he had just gotten.  It is designed to
clamp on the edge of a table like a meat grinder, and it fit the tail of my
anvil just right. It has a built in self centering vice and an optional disk
table. I tried to trade for it but ended up having to buy it. At $50 it
seemed a little steep but paid for itself before the end of the weekend when
I could take two custom jobs that required rivits. I punch a lot of holes
but they tend to not be precise enough for riviting, this little drill press
is just the ticket for these jobs. At about 20 lbs will not be too much
trouble to take to events.  The crowd seemed to enjoy watching me crank
my way through things as well, keeping with the hand crafted theme.
