[TheForge] Old video

[Chuck Robinson]

Hey Mike,
Ben is exactly right about the hammer. The video I remember seeing a few 
years ago had a big team of smiths beating the poo out of some really large 
iron. There were at least 2 Monday hammers going at it and a couple of 2 
handled hammers, plus several single hammers, all at the same time. It was 
like a double time  Russian ballet.
 One caption said the Monday Hammers could weigh up to 160 lbs..
I'm working on hot linking some old videos to Our new web site for the GCBA 
www.gulfcoastblacksmith.com
