Hello,

    About three years ago I got involved at a local historical site 
rebuilding wagons, buggies, and stage coaches.  In order to recreate
some of the parts that we needed I have been learning some black smithing.
Is there anyone else out there that is doing any thing like this?  If so
I am always looking for sources of information ( on both wagons and 
black smithing in general) so if you know of any good books let me know.
I am also on the look out for any good sources for tools, coal, or good
steel to work with.

	Black smithing is my hobby.  Who else is out there doing metalworking
and what kind are you doing?
