[TheForge] Swage Blocks

Tue Jan 14 10:49:03 2003

Are the Yater blocks hard to get?  I just saw a couple of them in a 
picture of Daniel Boone's shop, they look nice.  I saw Kayne's block at 
 Gichner's.  The style was great but I didn't like the finish.  Is 
anyone familiar with the quality and finish of the Saltfork Craftmen's 
block?
