[TheForge] Post Vise Craziness

[Bruce Freeman]

I was amused by his assertion that these "hammers" were used on the
Morman wagons!   The Mormans went to Utah ~1850.  The handles on these
swages are marked "Beth. Steel."  Bethlehem Steel was not called that
until 1899!

This guy's a real live twinkie.  Take a gander at his comments about 
"other blacksmiths".  He goes on quite a rant to justify his pricing. 
Must be feeling guilty about something, I guess, because were he not,
why would he have to justify his pricing?  All in all I think it's 
pretty funny.  Not as funny as the boots of pain, but amusing at any
rate.
