Anyone else see the article this morning on Google News about Yvonne Choinard? He was founder of Patagonia climbing gear and outdoor equipment. Started out as blacksmith making climbing gear!!! I'll try to post site.... Really nice shots of his old shop.
This is best I could do. REALLY interesting story and man:
"Ex-blacksmith hammers home green message - CNN.com.htm "- copy this and paste on Google search and it is first thing that comes up...

My sister in law works for Patagonia. They still acknowledge their blacksmith roots despite the Northwest sheek store they have become. All the stores use old anvils as decoration and they also sell an anvil T-shirt.
