[TheForge] Drawing Down Bar Stock

[roger olsen]

why not the whole hinge out of a hammered 1/4 x 2.  You are gaining nothing 
in strength if the hinge leaves the barrel at 1/4,  if anything you are 
loosing it by putting that much more weight out there for the barrels to 
support.  Seems a bit odd to me.
