My excuse for kicking the money loose for a nice big block was that I was  
forge welding three legged candlesticks and the Half-a-hex grooves on the  
side are perfect for that...every try doing those on an open anvil? It's  
not impossible by any means, but in the right trough it's smooth as (fill
