All of us who smith in Alaska are in you...Darrell,<br /><br />All of us who smith in Alaska are in your corner. A great many in our smithing association make a living as blacksmiths, farriers, cutlers, or foundrymen.<br /><br />We understand what it is to work hard at this trade, and how hard it is to run a business and to be self employed. <br /><br />We also suffer fixed costs that make our products costlier, shipping being among the worst. With the world's 4th busiest air cargo hub in Anchorage, we are at a loss to explain why shipping costs are outrageous here.<br /><br />We feel your pain. We admire your remarkable skill, your lifelong dedication, your accumulated expertise, and we are all very grateful that you share your know-how via this excellent website.<br /><br />Don't let the bastards grind you down!<br /><br />The Alaska Blacksmithing Association.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24863457.post-43001292796777202332012-10-31T19:58:49.899-04:002012-10-31T19:58:49.899-04:00We have one of your sets, and it's one game th...We have one of your sets, and it's one game that's lasted for years and been enjoyed for years.<br /><br />We live in the US, and I was delighted to find your rendition of the game.<br /><br />Hope this offsets the crank mail.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br /><br />Jalkr<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24863457.post-15997320900573825352012-10-30T18:50:12.138-04:002012-10-30T18:50:12.138-04:00In my capacity as passing stranger, I can fully su...In my capacity as passing stranger, I can fully support you on the oddities of Canada Post; it's a little better than a couple of years past (when Canada to Argentina cost less than Regina to Winnipeg for a parcel 10cm on a side) but it is still slightly Kafkaesque.<br /><br />...and I'm very happy to live in a part of the country not yet gripped with HST; it seems a misery and a half. I wish you saner days and more empathetic correspondence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
