The simple fact is ABANA has lost touch with working blacksmiths who are just 
trying to make an honest living.  ABANA has become to political and a group 
of a selected few who use it as their own self promoting platform.  I know more 
blacksmiths who are not members then are.  Who needs it and the BS.  I freeze 
may butt of in the winter and roast it off in the summer providing real 
service to real customers who need the services of a real blacksmith at a fair 
price.
