I wish I had seen this b4 I committed to the typical "LG" style toggle I used for my tire hammer. Would have saved hours of R&D Really neat!!

Default forging??

My Son came by to make the video and we didn't have time to build a fire in the forge so I used a piece of hickory left over from making some handles to pound on--it didn't last long!
