Be polite, ask if they have a few minutes to spare, explain what you do; blacksmithing has a mystique, take advantage of it. If that fails stop by about opening time with a box of doughnuts and ask again. Once you have a little practice give the shop's owner and maybe foreman a knife and you'll never have to buy 5160 or 9260 again.
