Calling a blade/blacksmiths!!

[David Kurin]

We need your help. We at Primal Fires are compiling a collective list of all bladesmiths and blacksmiths all over the world. The desire is to have a simple reference map of people interested in the arts of blacksmithing and bladesmithing, accessible to all. With this map the smiting community can be more closely knit. I know it helped me when trying to find a smith near me.

With ?Smith Project? in the subject.

I am posting this on the following forums.

Primal Fires
The Outpost on CKD
Tai's Crucible forums

If you know of another please e-mail me with the address. Also if you know anyone else that does not participate online but is a smith please e-mail their address also.(with there permission)

Thanks, David Kurin

David,
Sounds like a good idea, but I for one am a little dubious of the "Primal Fires" site. I've joined the group three different times and each time the site has stopped, dissolved, dimembered, or what ever within the year. I just finally gave up on it (Ran out of decent passwords for one thing).

Is it now back up and running? for how long? and run by who?
-To feed my curiosity-

Most importantly howerver: Will the list be made openly available among all the forums you've asked / advertised on or just on Primal Fires?

We usually just holler out "Help" over here and get what we need.

ps - did notice your profile is a little scanty to be asking this information of others.
