[TheForge] Craft work (was Disgusting Ironwork)

[Dan Tull]

And what is abana doing to educate ( the public, architects, code enforcers,
builders,etc.)?

Looks like someone would step up to help those (aforementioned) understand
what good
iron work (mild steel) is.
It has been said, " a fulltime blacksmiths biggest problem is educating the
customer as to what we can do"
