Got the link, but when I get there I get "There are currently no public usergroups available for you to join." Paypal says my payment went through. I sent a message to bladeforums a little while ago. I am sure they will sort it out.

It takes a couple days for Spark to get it changed. Yesterday BF was under a massive DDoS and he was VERY busy. It may be days before all the server changes are done. Give it a week before worrying. Tech Service is where you ask about it...or you can email Spark directly.
Well, I have made some good contacts through this forum and thread. Shane has offered some wood and to come and help when it is time to apply the scales and maybe have the kids out to Surrey to see how a blade is cut out and heat tempered. I have been emailing with another Canadian builder who is going to supply us with L6 blanks for a very good price. He won't be paying himself much for his time. He doesn't sell blanks but thought this would be a neat project to support. I have to check with him if it is alright for me to mention his company seeing as blanks aren't something he sells.
I am pretty excited. They are going to have some unique, quality, life long knives when they are done. I sent out an email to the parents today and the kids are emailing me now asking if they can't finish their knives before the spring so they can use them through the year. I guess I might have to contact the guy that runs a kiln and check that he will toss their stuff in with one of his commercial runs. I understand it will still take a length of time to dry in a kiln.
I attached a couple pictures of flutes I built with local maple. Two have spalted maple that I collected and sawed, and the other two with the fiddleback maple are trimmings from a local guy who does live edged slabs. Andy's Wood Barn has amazing stuff and great prices. I paid about $1 each for the figured maple in those flutes.
