    I've been asked to teach some workshops near Toronto, and if things
    work out it will be my first trip across an international border to
    teach. I've got to fly, and my normal procedure is to stick all my
    pointy tools and stuff into a Fedex box and ship those to my hotel
    or my workshop host's home, then fly with just my regular traveling
    gear and a few pieces I hate to loose track of. A couple of questions
    come to mind, though... 

    If I carry examples of my work, i.e., my knotted chain-mail shirt and
    some bracelets and stuff, will they demand that I pay duty on them?
    What do I say to them about a mass of silver that weighs seven pounds
    and that I casually wear at renaissance fairs and science fiction
    conventions? :) 

    Is my fedex package with silver wire, wood and brass tools, pliers,
    etc, going to be trapped in customs forever and ever? How early
    should I ship them to make sure they get through in time?
