[TheForge] Adventures in steel delivery.

[Andrew Vida]

The posts I am making are 3 1/4" dia. The screws are 1 1/8, which is 
larger than what is used in store bought posts and is acme thread on top 
of it.  The pipe is essentially drill string.  Very strong stuff and 
will be entombed in concrete.
