I found this in an old Canedy Forge Catalog on Rose Tools. I thought it was worth sharing.

Verily, I forthwith will always revere smiths as heroes!

Sad part is that they say that about truck drivers today. Makes me feel like a dinosaur. At least we aren't extinct yet.

Yep...

But see how far that truck driver gets without a mechanic...

Using tools..made on a machine...

Built by a machinist.....

Using methods invented by smiths.....

Hence the modest motto of The Worshipful Company of Blacksmiths of London, of whom the earliest documentation is 1421.

I have always felt that I had 'Grizzled Hands and a Cunning Brain', but I may have been mistaken.
