This is my principle contact with blacksmithing as well, at Historic Allaire 
Village in NJ.  I'd like to do a better job with the historical information.  
Any others out there who'd like to communicate on this topic?

the expressions on peoples face when you fire up the forge with a six foot,
double-chambered bellow to temps of 2000* F and hand forge  a piece, while
explaining that everything was made in the same fashion in the old days, you
get a lot of attention, especially from kids. Now that you have their
attention, it's time to educate them.
