I think it is important to pass on this type of information amount
blacksmiths -- because we are so used to dealing with honest straight
forward folks when dealing with other smiths.  I don't know what percentage
it is but I think honest smiths are up there somewhere in the 98 % group.
You can go to most blacksmith functions and in the tail gate sales -- folks
will leave a coffee can to put money in for purchase of many items -- where
else can you do that.
