[TheForge] Smithing Question

What  are some of the common methods or
devices that some of you more experienced  smiths are using?


I use a Vise-Grip locking clamp that I have cut off one of the clamping  arms 
and welded on a piece to fit in the hardy hole.  In my case,  about 6 inches 
of 1-1/4" square tubing. I cut a slot below the anvil so I  can quickly slide 
in a wedge to lock it into the hardy hole. This device  allows a quick 
adjustment for most any thickness stock. You need to make sure  your stock is nice 
and flat before you start chiseling lines.
