[TheForge] Platten table hammer in clamps?

Wed Oct 22 05:27:00 2003

Yeah I feel a bit dumb now, that is exactly what I came up with in the end,
I use one in my anvil but its a lot smaller,I was trying all sorts of
complex ideas and they all didnt have enough room for play between different
work thicknesses or different holes in the table. Might be a bad idea having
internet access in the workshop, too easy to ask questions
