[TheForge] Swage block stands

[dann at wctatel.net]

Somewhere on an old disk drive, I've photos of a angle iron swage block
frame.   It is welded solid, but built so that the swage block has an easy
change, uniform working height.  The ends or the side fit in a  deeper
bracket / hole so that the working height is the same  as when it on the
side or flat. Works really slick.

I think the smith that I saw do it originally was Mike Lynn / Alabama
