[TheForge] guild question

[debmiller at fuse.net]

We need a great new hit series on the order of Monster Garage or American Chopper. 

Something like American Iron Works!!

They could rotate smithies and smiths around the country showing the wide variety of work performed.

I'll contact someone I know in TV reality show production and make the suggestion.
