[TheForge] Casting a power hammer

Do I detect a Post Office loophole?
There was a story of a bank somewhere in the southwest. The bricks
were shipped to town in small lots by parcel post because that proved to
be cheaper than trucking them in! I think the Post Office redrew the
zone lines shortly thereafter.

Why dont, you have a scrapyard or steel dealer cut blocks of steel
that
will fit in the US postal service " flat rate boxes" and mail them to
you--
You can ship up to 70 pounds in each box for $8.10 anywhere in the US.
Then
just weld them up to the power hammer design that you want.
