Blacksmithing

The guy at Falls City Ironworks is not merely a 'welder'. He designs cool stuff and does some beautiful work. He had a steel shelf about the size of a large baker's rack that looked perfect enough to be manufactured, though I would bet his weighs more and would hold up for generations. His shop is how a metalworker's shop should be...cool tools, steel stock, dust & dirt, and fabricating machines to do anything you can imagine. I could take six months out of my life and just hang out there and make things and learn. It would be heaven! He did a great job on the welds I needed.
