Just checked with my roommate, now retired from the Navy, and he said that
there wasn't a Blacksmith rating per se, that it was part of the molder's
rating. He sais that both the manuals for the molders and for the pattern
malers have some information, but the patternmakers worked strictly with
wood.

"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....
