>   I was recently paging through old ring issues and I had a thought. Would'nt it be interesting to feature a different shop in each issue of the Ring. There is enough working shops across the country and a lot could be learned. Along with the interview could be regional highlights and a focus on the local chapter. I think it would very interesting to see how other shops are layed out, the unique tools and machinery each smith has developed to "make life easier". It would be great to put a place and face on some of our membership. If the Ring doesn't have a reporter who would travel, then the regional chapter could choose a shop and create an artical.
   Does anyone else have additional ideas?

The idea of featuring a shop each issue is a good one.  The difficulty is
getting the article written, photos taken and the whole thing submitted.
If someone were to take this on, even just once to start the ball rolling,
then I believe it would be printed.

The issue of content, as evidenced by e-mails here and letters to the
"Ring" is a dicey one, and I imagine that it will always be that way.  But
the editors of either publication welcome good submissions and anything
that can generate more interesting content would be welcome.

To All,
In my other life, i.e., real job, I am responsible for my company's 
technology in the field. Obviously, part of that is documentation of 
new and existing products. I have at least three people who consider 
me thier employee and each of them has a laundry list of papers, 
articles and data sheets for me to write. The really amazing part is 
that half of what needs to be written is of a commercial nature. When 
I stand up and say that I'll match them paper for paper, the  laundry 
list disapears. The whole point is: "let he who has a good idea, put 
it on paper as an example for us all."
