[TheForge] stuart hill of claydon forge

[Paul Novorolsky]

Bob Patrick does demos of using these. He refers to them as the "Claydon 
Joint". Bob makes them from round, and created a tool to pre-form them. 
His demo is on at least 2 of the UMBA DVD's. One of them is the BAM 
conference from a couple years ago.(RD-139) The detailed list of the 
entire DVD is listed below.

I also recently came across the article you mentioned, but unfortunately 
I'll have to dig through my paper "archives" to find it. But I think it 
was The Hammer's Blow.
