  1. I am not trying to pick on anyone but it never fails to amaze me what a lot of cheapskates we are.. There is always some thread going on about how much something cost or how crazy someone is for paying 6 bucks a pound for an anvil... I have noticed selling tools that a working blacksmith is the toughest customer to have... They expect more for less than just about any other group I have ever dealt with... Why is it that as a whole we seem to be this way (I have my own cheapskate habits, although I dont mind spending money on tools)


    Perhaps it has something to do with the ability/tendency to make something out of nothing. I was blown away when I made my first center punch out of an old truck spring from my teacher's scrap pile. "You mean I can make tools from stuff that's just laying around? Sweet!"
