[TheForge] Tin on Woodwright's shop

[Jerry Frost]

I don't think it's still in production but it's still being shown. On the
other hand I've never seen the tinsmithing episode so they may still be in
production.

Push your local PBS station hard enough and they might start airing it
again.

Wrought iron is.
