[TheForge] Cylinder Size

Fri Jul 11 07:39:01 2003

        I've taken a liking to garden sculpture and on occassion the 1/2 x 6
flats or the large square tubes or pipes to swage and draw things from would
be nice to put into a larger die opening.
        The majority of my tooling is all low profile for the Little Giant
also. So the answer is stock size.  On occassion it would offer the "old
tools" in the rack to be used also as they are 5-7" tall.
