[TheForge] forging a post vise

[Andrew Vida]

I made one with about 3/8" jaws in sterling.  It's here in the house, 
somewhere.

The mass in the spike's head was just about perfect for getting the jaw shape out of.  I haven't done one either but it seems the jaw is the crux, slitting and drifting the hole for the box and drawing the leg out seems tame after that.
