[TheForge] Welding a whole lotta cast iron

[Peter Fels And Phoebe Palmer]

Terry is right. Legal and bureaucratic realitys are often absurd, but 
are enforced as if they were the word of god sometimes. That crap can 
embroil a smith in a kafkaesque petty shitstorm that goes on insanely.
On the other dirty hand....If one thinks about it too much, one is 
paralized or driven into mediocracy. One strategy is to remain so poor 
that one is judgement proof, which has worked for us, after a fashon, 
but has it's drawbacks.....P
