I like the wooden poles they use as vice helpers to stop the blade from slipping wile they file.

I like watching other smith's work.

You learn interesting things.

I tell everyone who wants to learn from me. "You never stop learning, you will always think of a new way to make a hammer, a new tool to help make a hook. There will be times you watch a new(er) smith work and learn a new way to do a certain thing. This is an ever learning craft that keeps on teaching."

local scrap yard owner flat out refuses to sell his scrap iron/steel to any private person, business's however.... i even found 6 large mining drill bits i was interested in.
