[TheForge] Silver question

[Albin Drzewianowski]

Carl Close,  Hammersmith Studios, LLC in Concord MA would be the place to
start.  If this is not a project that Carl would handle, I am sure that he
could refer the priest to someone local that could handle it.

The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.
