[TheForge] Anyone recognize this blacksmith?

[Mike Spencer]

This one appears to be the same guy:

and I think he looks a lot like Peter Happny of Portsmouth, NH.  Last
time I saw him (2005) I don't think he was so grey.  But that shop
interior looks a lot like his.  He was at one point famously hostile
to computers & email but I see he now has an email address.

So I'll email him and ask if that's him.

Stay tuned...
