[TheForge] Super Quenched Dies?

[Chris Kilpatrick]

I have spring shop drops, lumber yard bandsaw blade, a couple of axles and other odds and ends, However, none of them is large enough for a power hammer die.  My point was not to be snide or demeaning, but to help those professional smiths out there remember some of us are not full time smiths, with well stocked smithies.

It is I who formed the blacksmith, 
who fans the flame into a fire and
fashions a weapon fit for it's work.
