[TheForge] Input wanted

[Justin Fellenz]

Jerry and all,

I uploaded a sketch of the fireset I had in mind. It would be a pain to
make, but there it is. It's in "everything else" , bipod_fireset.

My original idea was as if you put a bar on your shoulder and hooked
your outstreched arm over the bar...you could lean into it a ways, with
the bar pushing down on your shoulder and up on your hand. So you could
build the thing (again, much more elegantly) with an over/under loop,
like a hook (inside/fire side) and saddle (outside/short side), to hold
the crossbar. You'd have to make the crossbar/loop join pretty stout to
handle the bending loads...

Anyway, there it is.
