[Ansteorra] Blacksmithing q's

[Ron Hardy]

Caladin,

Thanks for the mention of the video "A Blacksmithing
Primer". I actually produced the video and will give
any SCAer a 20% discount if they order from us
directly.

you'll need to call and let Catrin know that you're
SCA and we'll discount it on our end.
