Codger, I have considered going to hammer-ins and plan to within the next year or so. Dad is a semi retired bladesmith, and he is keeping me busy, helping me improve upon my work right now. IF I end up letting my "hobby" expand past personal blades ect, It would be a slow paced thing, I want to keep it fun, take the fun out of it, there is nothing left but a stressful job . I'd take a fun pastime that makes me a few dollars over a stressful 9-5 job any day. Hope you understand. Let me know what you have in mind as far as the bigger project,perhaps we could discuss it through personal email.
Take Care
