[TheForge] anyone know of a disabled person wanting to take up blacksmithing?

[Andrew Vida]

Well, I'm good and crazy, so you can send it all here.

As for your lawyers, WTF?  What in god's green acre could they be all 
nervous nellie about helping some poor bastard with some tooling?  If 
nothing else, you can always have the recipient sign a release/waiver.

Jesus tapdancing christ... what a world.

BTW, I was being somewhat facetious in asking my question.
