The problem with America is too many lawyers and too few trees.  But we 
digress from ironworking.  If I might qualify my earlier posting 
regarding the Forge and Anvil video series:  since the program claims to 
be a `how to' designed to promote an interest in persons exploring 
blacksmithing as a hobby (which is stated as such in the videos), it 
seems they should have stressed saftey considerations more.  I 
completely agree that people should take responsibily for their own 
actions, but we have a plethora of hungry laywers in this country so one 
cannot be too cautious in dealing with the `public'.

I am looking for a flor mandrel and a so-called mini-mandrel which would fit in 
to my anvil??? Can anyone advise me of a good source? I am located in the 
Chicago area.

Is there anything special about one mandrel vs another, i.e. construction, 
price, etc?

Do any of you have one you'd like to get rid of???

Thanks.
