[TheForge] Portable forging station...

[jerry Frost]

This fellow posted this set up on Iforge yesterday. It's pretty impractical
to work with. The only access you have between one tool and another is to
walk around the station. The fellow has a 10,000 warehouse and he doesn't
want to take up floor space, understandable but. . . 

He's very new to blacksmithing and like so many of us breaking into a craft
we try to deign the "perfect" tools, equipment, shop, etc. It may be a typo,
here there or somewhere but his post on Iforge says the blue plate is 2"
thick and oh so solid. A nasty trip hazard but solid.

A number of us have offered suggestions and he seems to be taking
constructive well.

...if you have a forklift.  The base is 1" steel plate.

You can contact the maker/designer on rec.crafts.metalworking.  Look for
