      very interesting.  Takes me back to when I was 5-6 years old and watching the local Blacksmith, in Butztown, Pa.

      Everything in Iron was made by a Blacksmith in colonial days, nails, door hinges, cooking rods etc etc etc.  He makes it look so easy.

It IS easy when you know what you're doing. You should see me and my son frame a house!

Ever notice that blacksmiths are usually never described as being a "small" person?
