[TheForge] fire resistant safe

[Andrew Vida]

If you don't need it to be in any way portable, a vault is a good way to 
go.  About 10 or so years ago I had a line on a huge round vault door 
from 1904.  It was some 30 tons and one of the most beautiful pieces of 
technology I had ever lain eyes on.  I could have had it for $5K, but 
had no place to put it.  I've kicked myself repeatedly for having passed 
it up.  You would have had to have seen it to know why.
