When I was a kid our small town had at least two or three actual blacksmith shops...the sort where you could take your worn out plow shares and have them rebuilt and hard-faced(studite or something like that)...not to mention getting stuff welded.
We still have a large welding/fabricating shop where you can buy metal...but I doubt they would or could repair and hardface plowshares.
There are a lot of welders around with a large customer base because of all the oilfield activity. I can weld pretty decent...but I have one particular welder I like to do most of my shops welding. However he's often so busy in the oil-patch that I leave a key available for my welder so he can help himself to my repairs/welding work as he sees fit. This works out well as I have plasma-cutters a big torch and various welders for him to use as he sees fit...or he can back his truck up to the door and use has stuff..I don't care which.
My theory on using a professional welder to do most of my shops welding jobs is that a very good welder can do my customers welding repairs much more efficiently/better and quicker for less money than if I(a mechanic who is able to weld and fabricate to a degree) can do it. Customer saves dollars and we all get a top-quality repair....
