[TheForge] cheap top swages

[dann at wctatel.net]

After seeing those rounding hammers sell a few weeks ago, and other
similar  blacksmith related items that went crazy on ebay....so

I started to buy one set,  but switched up and just ordered 2 sets: one to
use, one that I may decide to re-sell on ebay, with thoughts that that
sale might  pay for the set that I use.. <grins>  Back 10 or more years
ago,  I remember the time that I  bought a pair of little giant trip
hammers.  The way that I remember it, the re-sale of one paid for both.
