Hi guys-
I usually don't post over in this part of the forums but I ran into something that you fellas might get a kick out of, maybe even Jerry himself might be amused. I was doing some research for something in my woodshop and low-and-behold I run into some of Jerry's "older work".

Looks to me like its from the 70's :)

Drama professor? That, is news to me. Date stamp on the article is May/June 1990. Very cool, thanks for posting this!
 
A drama professor??? You mean this whole INFI thing could just be an act? :confused: :D
 
I love that idea, of transitioning from a drama professor to an incredibly successful knife maker... it gives me hope that I can one day transition from the miserable world of academia to a job that involves lots of consumption of expensive scotch :D :thumbup:
 
Dang, I thought you were going to have found an old knife I was going to have to try and buy from you! LOL!!!

Cool article, I have thinking of making something for my shop.........



.
:D
 
little did jerry know that it was the scotch on his breath that was ignited by the sparks from his drill motor. thank god he wasn't inhaling when it blew!

nice idea for the cleaner though! :thumbup: :cool:

There's a blast from the past!!! :eek:

I actually wrote the article for BLADE magazine in either '88 or '89.

BLADE did a "brilliant" job of editing the article so that it would fit on one page by cutting out half of the important info and putting the pic upside down so that it looked like it was sitting on the floor!!! :eek:

I sat at the Blade Show bar that year listening to other makers commenting on how ridiculous the idea of a "blower on the floor" would be!!!:eek:

American Woodworker magazine called me and asked for permission to print the "entire" article. . . They printed it much closer to the way it was originally written.

Thanks for posting that link. . . I had forgotten all about that article 20 years later.

Jerry :thumbup:

Now thats options!!....drama market crashes, move to knives....knife market crashes, do voice overs (apparently Ive been missing out on the forum! I now have a totatlly new pic in my head how you would sound. Like the movie preview guy!)

And if all else fails you can build custom air filters i guess. :thumbup::thumbup::D
 
"Tonight's homework, class, is theatre combat training. Here are some knives I made at home to practice with. I call them my battle mistresses!" CLASSIC!
 
ROTFLMAO.......drama professor?!!:D

Well I'll be dip in $hit and hung out to dry.......that explains alot!;)

Thanks for posting that.....Jerry is one talented cookie that's for sure.:thumbup:

Hey Jerry.....sing us a tune big fella!:p
 
that is cool, love the past that makes us what we are today, no surprise at all!!!

i wish that i had run into busse knives years ago, it would be nice to have some of the old school stuff...
 
Thanks for the link, Scarysharp. I archived it in case I need to make a nuclear-tough air cleaner for my shop.

Boss Hog, you are one helluva renaissance man, aintcha!! :cool:

Thanks rok...
I actually saved the pdf file itself in case the link doesnt work one day, I suggest the same to anyone who wants to "hold-on" to such a treasure :p
 
I was sure that a smoldering cigar and a mouthful of JWB stops all incoming air pollutants. Can you confirm or deny this, original-article-author???? ;)
 
Wait wait wait. . . . A VOCAL ARTIST!!!!!????

We gotta get some Youtubes of that, Boss. Can you do some show-tunes???

Drama prof. LOL OK, I can see it. Clint Eastwood only has one look. You clearly have 2. The stern serious look of your 80's/90's pix and the slightly pickled grin of your 21st century work. ;)

Great article, Boss!
