I'm a lifetime member of the Blacksmiths Guild of the Potomac. A past president is Brad Silberberg, who is a professional Architectural Blacksmith, and has some pieces on permanent display at the Smithsonian. He makes nails as his way of shutting g off his mind and just zoning out. He taught me how to make my first nail. There is also the Artist Blacksmith Association of North America, and other ABANA chapters all over the country. Adam Savage has done some nice videos recently that he's posted on YouTube for his Tested channel where he visits the Metropolitan Museum in NYC, specifically the guys who maintain all the metal weapons and armor. Blacksmithing is alive and well all over this country, and the entire world.
