[TheForge] Branding Irons? Professional witness?

[Jonathan Barnhart]

I'm really not trying to stomp on anyone here.  I was
just tired of seeing more talk of lawsuits than
blacksmithing.  I was trying to get some real info on
making, not how to avoid being sued.  Mainly, I wanted
to figure out the best course of action, so I could
get back to work.  I don't post here much, because I
have other things I need to do.  I'm a small time
smith with very little of anything to sue for.  So, if
I worried that I was going to be sued for everything I
made, I'd never make anything.  As to the handle, I'm
not really sure.  I'm assuming he wants a traditional
look and that he would want a long steel handle.
