I have the Green and Mengel swage block, too. I got mine direct from Green and Mengel when I was at Quad States a couple years ago. It was $175 at that time and it fits in a Flat Rate box and can be mailed for $9.00. Heck of a deal. Took me about four hours with a die grinder and various abrasives to get it to the degree of finish that I wanted, which isn't bad at all. Not a mirror polish, but pretty damn smooth.
If you want to get one from Mengel and Green, I probably have their card somewhere. Email me and I'l look it up for you.
