[TheForge] bolt thread repair tool

[Rob Fertner]

I have a 12 x 12 shop in my backyard. It's pretty basic. Coal forge, anvil,
treadle hammer, tool rack, and small work bench. Post vise is mounted on
mobile base.
It's on a 6 inch concrete slab with extra rebar around the edges. One of
these days I need to insulate it and wire it for electricity.
We have a company here called All Sheds. They custom build the shed for you.
The skin is cement board with cedar trim and if you paint it within a week
of them putting it up, they guarantee the building for 50 yrs against rot.
I went with 144 sq ft slab because in Wichita any less than 150sq ft only
requires a $15 building permit. If I didn't have a permanent foundation I
wouldn't need a permit.

This is going to strictly be a hand forging shop - I have a shop in the
basement for non blacksmith stuff. (Like restoring A10-A bubble sextants)
