We still have amazing master blacksmiths who've reached the pinnacle of the craft despite no economic demand for their skills, so clearly the lack of a market doesn't deter curious people looking for a hobby.

I've met a few master blacksmiths who do fair/con circuits, these are often guys who did stuff in their garage while working a regular job until they were able to build a customer base and online presence.

Is that our inspiration? to lose all social stability traveling on the road, treating their hard worked craft as a circus attraction.
And all as a side gig, too. for a craft their forefathers spent entire careers honing. Is that really how a craftman masters their craft?
