[TheForge] Forging a post vice

[Bob Ehrenberger]

I have an old vice where the thread box was made by swaging it over the 
screw.  I discovered this when it started to slip.  I fixed it using the 
same method, I got the box hot, quickly inserted the screw and hammered it 
into the swage block.

I have seen threads made for a screw by drilling and inserting a row of
brass/bronze bolts/rods so that the flat ends fit into the threads of the
screw.
