I'm here for the Mid-America Bladesmithing Expo. I'll try to post every day (if anyone cares:-D) and let you all know what's going on.
Today was just registration and the Demonstrators Dinner, which was fun. Surprisingly, there seemed to be more people from Indiana than Ohio.
That's all for tonight.:)

I'll have the camera with me from now on, so I should have some pics for you tonight. :D
This morning I went to Kevin Cashens discourse and demo on grinding, which was helpful. The saw Rick Dunkerly (sp?) forge weld some components for a "W" pattern mosaic billet.
Sorry no pics yet...
 
Well, Yesterday afternoon I went to B.R. Hughes lecture on ABS knife judging, which was eye opening in some surprising ways. :)
Then saw Billy Bob Sowell talk about salt pots and jigs. Salt pots sure sound good, if you can get past the danger part.
In the evening we went to Kevin Cashens cutting demo, which was fun.
i have pics, but I'm going to hold off posting them until I get home tomorrow. The internet is even slower here, and it already takes about 3 minutes to upload a 640 X 480 picture. :barf:
