Job Opening - sword smith

So this is awesome. I really mean it, not being snarky and crap. If I lived in Edinburgh and could financially and time wise swing it, I would be all over this.

MacDonald Armories (reproduction sword maker) has openings for two apprentice swordsmiths.
Owner and master-at-arms Paul Macdonald, 41, is to offer two new starts the chance to gain experience in one of Scotland’s rarest heritage crafts today. Applicants do not need any previous experience but they must be confident in their abilities to learn quickly and create with various power and hand tools. (link)
And they have an Academy.
Located in the heart of the Edinburgh Old Town, the Macdonald Academy of Arms is dedicated to the study and practice of most forms of European Martial Arts and Historical Fencing.
Ok, that is just cool. I wish I could move to Scotland.

I am guessing I would not be living here,


but rather here.
