[TheForge] Lathe dogs?

[Bruce Freeman]

Larry,
I have the chucks, but some of the work I do may be center-to-center,
hence the need for the dogs.

Andy,
I have a small dog already, but would like larger sizes.  I'm going to
give a go at forging one tonight, time permitting.  I figure, wrap a
bar around a mandrel and weld the "tail."  I may rivet before welding,
welding in the rivet.  We'll see.

The total lack of evidence is the surest sign that the conspiracy is working.
