[TheForge] Forging a post vise

[Jim Beard]

After I had been forging for a bit, 6 months to a year maybe, I
started to look at everything and think about how I could forge it.  I
must admit I looked long and hard at my post vise..  Why its just a
slit drift here and a taper there, bend it right there, etc....
Looked like fun!
