Do we also have to clone the village smithy?

A tree does not compare to old technology.

It would be great to grow chestnuts here again. They are a crop, like corn.

Yes. IF it would be profitable such that taxpayers are not paying for the project.

There are village smithies that are very profitable now. There is a market for such but it is, of course, far smaller in proportion to the population than it once was. I know one such who built a very profitable shop. He started out in a rented storage shed and now owns his property and building. He works for mail order mostly but has a pretty good trade among the locals in a small, even hick, town making knives and copying old tools. He regularly gets orders from groups that do re-enactments and has made pieces for historical displays. He has two employees that work on commission.
