[TheForge] Gazintas that SUCK

[Jerry Frost]

Thanks Ralph, I feel almost shocky.

Most of the metal work I've done has been fab and the thing I hated most was 
either working on my knees on a concrete floor or wrestling horses. With a 
grid of sockets I should be able to jig most anything that'll go through the 
door.

I think the exhaust should be enough, the bar grate is 4' x 4' and it'll sit 
over a plenum on four legs in four sockets. If there still isn't enough draw 
through four sockets I'll just choke the grate with a little sheet metal, 
etc. I've used cutting/welding tables like this powered by a shop vac that 
worked pretty well. I think the 3" intake forge blower I'm using will 
outdraw a shop vac.

I hope. <grin>
