[TheForge] Vise squad

[schade at acegroup.cc]

  I have seen some handles that just had a collar welded around the 
handle. There really isn't any reason it has to be a ball. Coil spring 
would not be my choice for the project. Especially if forge welding was 
part of the plan. Jeff said the original looked like mild steel. It 
would probably still be a good handle if Jeff would have heated it 
before trying to straighten it. Not getting on your ass Jeff I have 
broke my share of stuff. Maybe more than my share. )
