[TheForge] Sow blocks. What?

[Andrew Vida]

Doesn't really matter what they are made of.  They probably would make a 
good anvil.  Find or make a bottom die to fit and you could have a 
really nice, large-mass anvil.  There's a 15 ton sow block still sitting 
outside the old Jersey City Forge waiting to be hauled away.  In fact, 
there may be two of them. :)
