Wil,

I may be able to help you out here.  I was at a machine shop the other day
and after talking steel and forging for a while the guy proceeded to show me
his father and uncles anvils and an unopened wooden box of flux.  I don't
know if it was E-Z.  I'll check next time I go by there.  Contact me
directly at:  [email-masked]  in a week or so.

I have some EZ weld that is about 6 or 7 years old. I also have some Cherry
Heat that is probably 20 to 30 years old, still works good tho. Let me know.

If you feel there is a surplus of blacksmiths, it must be just in your area.
Here is the Northwest, NWBA has a nice membership of smiths that are widely
spread out.  I can turn down more jobs than I do.  'Course I retired, and
only do it as a "hobby." (HAH!)
