Oh, I don't know. Last I heard, Lloyd's would insure you against being hit
by a golf ball at a tournement for 10 cents per tournement. Prices have
likely increased since then, but they aren't unreasonable, usually. After
all, you're basicly talking a fairly limitted risk for a short time, unless
you're using really strange materials in your forging apparati.

"When in doubt, heat it up and hit it with a hammer."
 Blacksmith's credo.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
