While we're still off topic... Sweden is one of the easier places to get into.
Just pretend you're from a place ravished by wars and genocide, come and visit
us in our fine country, live here for a few years (or get a wfie/husband/baby)
and _then_ tell you're from somewhere else instead. We'll feel so sorry for
you that you've got all your friends/loved ones/life over here that you may
stay anyway. You'll have rapidly deteriorating social security, rediculously
cheap health care (but we're working on it) and all the taxes in the world.

Few lawyers though.

If you have been watching the PBS program "NEW YANKEE WORKSHOP" you may 
remember that in the very first year there was no mention of shop safety 
practices by the host, Norm Abrams. With each successive year there has 
been more and more reference to and use of safety practices. Now days 
whenever Norm uses a router, you see him wearing hearing protectors and 
when he works pressure treated wood, he wears somekind of respirator.

If I remember correctly during that first year there was quite a bit of 
commentary in the wood working magazines about the lack of shop safety 
warmings.

I suspect that if the Forge and Anvil survives beyond its first year 
(which I hope they do), you will see an increased emphasis on the 
importance of shop safety practices.
