Is the "extra" hole not the one for the trigger return/lever safety? I'll have to look at the pre-1902 tangs (out in the cold shop this morning) and look.

Can you provide more about the design of your forge?
I got the overall plan from a blacksmith forum. I will have to look on a different computer to find the website address.

It's always been my experience that tobaco smoke, particularly pipe tobaco, smells much better than it tastes. I'd much rather have someone else do the smoking.

My wife is very asthmatic, so I cant be around the stuff, as even the smell on clothing can set her off.
