This may be just a little early for electric welding but....From the book "Modern Blacksmithing" by Holstrom 1904: 1) Don't lose your temper or hit the horse with your hammer 2) Don't run down your competitor 3) Don't smoke while shoeing 4) Don't imbibe in the shop 5) Don't run outdoors while sweaty 6) Don't know it all 7) Take a bath once a week"This done the craft will be elevated, and the man respected. Something to ponder ehFelonCaution lurker lives here" hmmm That is serious,pass the ganja and pick up a  24 of MGD"

Reply:1) Don't lose your temper or hit the horse with your hammerThe rasp works better and doesn't wound them. 2) Don't run down your competitor       Their work will usually do this for them 3) Don't smoke while shoeing    If your smoking your on fire, you might want to look into that. 4) Don't imbibe in the shop        Its not drinking its only beer.5) Don't run outdoors while sweaty       I haven't known many blacksmiths to run anywhere. 6) Don't know it all         Just the important things.   "just the facts mam"7) Take a bath once a week       wait till Saturday it lasts longer.Just my wise ace two cents.Vantage 500's LN-25's, VI-400's, cobramatics, Miller migs, synch 350 LX, Powcon inverters, XMT's, 250 Ton Acurrpress 12' brake, 1/4" 10' Atlantic shear,Koikie plasma table W/ esab plasmas. marvel & hyd-mech saws, pirrana & metal muncher punches.
