[TheForge] Ironworkers

[Bruce Freeman]

A friend of mine (Marshall) has not one but two mechanical
ironworkers.  He uses them for shearing flat stock and angle iron, and
for punching.  The larger one has a broken shear, but can punch larger
holes and/or thicker stock.

>From what I hear, hydraulic ironworkers are the better bet these days,
but these mechanical ones are fun toys!
