I'm also a history major! I was working on my PhD in medieval history before I moved into the tech sector. Frankly I got tired of spending all my time learning French, German, Latin, and Arabic, and when I got a job offer writing software making more than I would make after spending 11 years getting a PhD, I went with the tech job.

I just found a guy here in WA who restores leg vises, and I'm picking one up from him this weekend. He's also going to introduce me to "a guy" who has a barn full of anvils for sale. Apparently he has several Peter Wrights and Hay Buddens for $2 - $3 a pound. Hoping to pick up one this weekend.
