[TheForge] Marketing Pure Iron

[George Pacheco]

I may be a hobbiest Blacksmith, but my Momma didn't raise no Idjuts! New steel is cheaper than the fuel necessary to provide the heat to beat "Free/Found" steel into shape.

trend towards making silk purses from sows ears, i.e., there seems to be a 
need by many of us to pick up old automobile crank shafts for $5 and spend 60 
hours heating and beating it into a 1/2 inch diameter rod for use in making 
wall hooks that sell for 5 bucks. I don't know where this came from, but 
talk about false economy!"

Amen,
Lay it partly at the feet of the Weygers books.
