I Forge Iron

I have a bunch of S7 lathe drops that are 1.25" I need to make a swing arm fuller to do wrapped handles on tooling I make out of them...  Much quicker than punching handle eyes...   As a side not on the wrapped handles, some of the industrial blacksmiths that I know, are very deliberate in crimping their handles so that someone isn't tempted to put the hand 'Through the loop'...  The idea being that if you put your finger through the loop, and the tool get crunched under the hammer you are going to get hurt, safer to make it so you can't put your fingers in the loop handle, than get your hand messed up.
