[TheForge]was Power hammer pads for conference now electricity

[Grover Richardson]

True.  But a demo goes better if the demonstrator has equipment with which
he/she is familiar.  Also, a blacksmith can do without a power hammer as
well, but efficiency is lost.

In my mind a compromise between what may be easily had, and what has been
requested needs to be determined.  Then do round 2 of negotiations/
acquisitions to see what really needs to be added for the additional
expense.

Yes, Very true.

I would think that any demostrator worth their salt could adapt to the 
available equipment. There are certainly special cases, such as large 
hammer demos such as happened at Asheville.
