[TheForge] Looking for the cast type hammer drifts...

[Ralph Sproul]

I have this same info that Kevin just mentioned, but I met a fellow at the
ABANA conference last July that had purchased the business from Wendell.  I
purchased one of the cast bending forks, but didn't get a business card.

Not sure if these numbers will work any more if the business has changed
hands.
