Mike,

This would be a great opportunity for someone down around the Raleigh, 
North Carolina area to go and visit

An opportunity presents itself to someone in the Raleigh area to see and 
test one and report back to the list.  I'm wondering what his reaction 
(i.e. big discount?) would be to someone waltzing in through the door 
asking for a test drive as a representative of a list of some 300 strong 
blacksmiths?  And that would be just for starters.  A good tool and we'd 
report further down the line to local and regional blacksmith groups and 
ABANA Affiliates, etc.....

Might be worth a trip for someone in the area.  I'd do it myself, but 1100 
miles is a bit far.

Even if you find it to be junk ... well we'd also be better off for the 
information.

Thanks in advance to the adventurous soul who volunteers to undertake this 
undertaking.
