[TheForge] Marketing Pure Iron

Sat Aug 24 13:23:00 2002

Tell it!  I'm just a hobbyist at this, but I don't really want to stand
around all day beating a piece of scrap to size before I can start making
something out of it.

I never got a chance try PI, mostly cause I live far from any of the big BS
meets where Mike was selling it (no fault of Mike's) and 50 lbs is a LOT for
a try it and see if I like it puchase.

I hope some one figures out  how to make the PI business work in the States,
I'd sure like to try it.
