[TheForge] Swedge block stands

    I have mine on a utility pole set in the dirt floor of the shop.
I am considering cutting a groove down the middle of the top
with a chainsaw, the width of the block so that it will set on edge
and still be about the same height as when flat.
    My post vice is also mounted on a utility pole with one side
cut down to a shelf near the bottom to set the post on. This allows
one access from all side of the vice or to walk around it when
bending things.
