Let me say that I love Gold and Silver and Billon and Electrum and three kinds of Pewter, but there's something less than satisfying about scrolling through the list of metals every time I want to make a metal object.

One obvious solution (or semi-solution) is to only list available metals, like with the smelter.

Another is to include three options: Minor Metal, Weapon Metal, and Precious Metal.

Precious Metal - any metal that cannot be used to make armor.

Weapon Metal - your best available metal, be it adamantine or steel.

Minor Metal - inferior metals that can be made into weapons or armor.

While I'm not entirely sure it's a good idea to add more metals to the list at the forge, I definitely want the precious metal one, since sometimes I just want to make metal crafts and I don't much care which metal they use.  Stuff like this happens a lot.
