What's in it for me, you ask?

SUBMISSION FORM
Ironwork Today

For each artist participating, we need:
  1. Information about the artist and the ironwork. For ironwork that is part of an installation, a brief history of the project will be needed. Brief interesting anecdotes related to various pieces and installations are welcome here.

2. Examples of the various forms of ironwork you create, captured in any of the following formats: slides; digital imagery, requiring an image with 300 dpi JPG in Adobe RGB color mode at a 4" x 6" size in the raw or fine data format; transparencies; or glossy 4" x 6" or larger photographs. All materials need to be properly identified for return once the project is complete. These need to be high quality images you would be proud to enter into any juried art show … considering they will be in print for some time to come throughout the United States, as well as in England, Italy, and Japan. Materials accepted for the book remain safely with the publishing house until the book is finished and are then returned to the contributors, after approximately 6 months after receipt of the final contribution.

3. Identifying the images: Accompanying each image should be information on each image, including the name of the artist, title of the work (as appropriate), media used, location of the installation as appropriate, a brief description of the piece or installation, size of the piece or installation, and any necessary courtesy line such as a photographer's credit line or the courtesy line of the owner of the installation as required.

4. Please remember to provide a return address so your materials may be returned when this project is complete and identify each image with your name.

They have a new shipment of excellent blacksmithing coal.
The price is $185 per ton = $9.25 per 100 lbs.
You can purchase any amount 50 Lbs. to 10 tons
Bring your own container and shovel it yourself for small amounts
or they can load up your truck or trailer with their front end loader.

 
About this new load of coal;
It does not look like what you are use to.
It looks like dust and doesn't look any good
but
it is good....
The dust cokes up nicely, it burns hotter than the old stuff
and there are NO Clickers!
Pile it up on each side of your fire and keep pushing it in from the sides as it cokes up.
