A visit to Howard Hitchmough (pic heavy)

[Kevin Jones]

Don't about a clean shop, but a well organized shop where everything has it's place should greatly improve efficiency thus lower cost.

Hi Keith.
That is a special piece he is making for the Boston invitational show next year

When is the Boston Invitational show? I have not seen it advertised. How many makers will be there? Who do you contact to get information?

The show will be held for the first time in October 2010. Here is a link to the show's website. Pretty cool line up of really talented makers.http://www.bostonartknifeclassic.com/index.html

Thank you for the link. Good group of makers. Sounds like it is patterned after the Art Knife Invitational, which will be Oct. 24, 2009 in San Diego which was started in 1981 by Phil Lobred.

Hi Steven,

Absolutely wonderful photos. I am certainly glad you enjoyed your trip in the USA. (If you drove up 1-95 to NH, you drove through my town.)

Howard's shop? I'm impressed but not surprised. I have always heard of him being meticulous, and his work I have photographed is always such.

Thank you for BOTH tours.

Thanks Coop that really means a lot to me coming from you.
The north east in the fall is such a wonderful place. It seems like a postcard around every corner. You are so lucky to live there....
All the best
Steven
