In Canada? I'm sure you will have somewhere. I know a few people in the Canada area (broadly speaking) I can get them to scout around for me

hmmm... looks like i found some websites of smithies here...

I'm dubious about using websites for something like this. I'd always much rather see them in person. That way you can be certain it will be made exactly the way you want it

you're right.
have you got #s so i can call and go over and see what they do?
maybe even the short blade too.

The only blacksmiths I know are in the UK, and they're the friend of a friend variety so it'll take a little time to get hold of them. But if you don't mind the international call charges I can certainly pass on numbers when I have them

sure, pass them on.
when i want something badly enough nothing stands in the way.

Hehe, a woman after my own heart

hey, i wanted the game so bad i bought myself a new computer...
my dad was rolling his eyes the whole time

I wish I could do that

what, roll your eyes?

Buy a new computer. I seriously need a job

myself being jobless now, i see your point.
pressure mounts... christ!

Yes, now does every understand how I was able to get such an insane number of posts in such a short space of time?

good point.

But since I plan to get a wireless ISP once I go to work I'll still be able to make stupid amounts of postings as well

are you trying to set a record?

Yes

Good luck finding about $700-$1200 lying around your house (click the linky)
