Twenty years ago Ralph Sproul of Webster, NH was a regular here and
our resident gazinta (his spelling) guru.  I have a vertical gazinta
for my 8" leg vise welded to a 4'x4' piece of 1/4" plate as a result
of discussion here.  First the vise and then the plate can be picked
up with an engine hoist and stowed out of the way.

We haven't heard from him recently.  You there, Ralph?  You OK?

I tried to visit www.bearhillblacksmith.com but failed.
