Hammer In

All right....I couldn't make it, so someones gota hook me up with some pics or info! Was here a cutting comp? if so who won? Did anyone have to kick a dog? Did IG kiss anyone?!!:eek: Did any one have to take a knife away from Larry and duct tape him to a wheelchair?:D
Some of us need to know!

No pics from me, but my friend and I had a great time! He forged his first blades, got some buffalo horn scales for the handles, and loved watching everything! I got to work on a blacksmith knife, a tiny tomahawk made for executing mice, picked up a blower for my forge, and had a great time seeing everyone! It was great to handle some other makers' knives and talk shop. Bill Vining did a filework demo that made it look easy (always looks easier than it is though, huh?)

There were only two of us who did any cutting, myself and one other guy about my size who for the life of me I cannot remember the name (someone please let me know!)...it was pretty informal. We only really did two events with him beathing me out on the 2X4 chop (him: 10 secs, me: 12 secs) and me beating him in the rope cutting (three strands, i believe he cut two.) We cut up some cans and bottles and called it a day. Was funny that pretty much the two smallest guys there were the only ones cutting!

IG's dogs were very well bahaved, but that poor tiny dog was getting manhandled pretty badly all day!

George cooked up some amazing chili and chicken and had everything running like clockwork! Thanks so much IG, for having us all over!

Looking forward to pics!!!
 
Please post up the pics!!!! I live so far away, I'll prolly never get to go to one so I gotta see some pics!
 
David and Paul (spike manglers BIL) were the only cutters... I guess the big guys were scared of them :)..... I had a good time.. :thumbup: gotta gotta gotta get a press..

Hey Mace, I only used the persuasion hammer once! the press worked soo sweet!

Oh yes, Aldo showed up with the magic bus full of great steel, bunch of new folks forged out their first cable billet, a couple people forged blades for the first time, one guy lit BOTH pant legs on fire (rumors are someone got pictures)

I like to thank Justin, Louis, Nathan, Dewey and BBBB Beaver for there assistance. Also all the Guys who did the demo. Made the day run allot smoother. :thumbup::thumbup:
The door prize winner of the 12" forge was Justin.:D
Looking forward to seeing some pic's too.
 
Wa..Wa..Wally,

Definitely had a great time, as usual, always glad to be of assistance.

Mace, I actually maintained a modem of sobriety :eek: hard to believe, huh?

It'll be a sad day for Northeast knife people when IG moves far, far away :grumpy:

Their arn't any HI's around here that have 4 or 5 forges running at the same time, except at Indian George's.

:thumbup: Way to go Wa..Wa..Wally, once again you have hosted a great HI.

Just as an FYI.........it was not me. I was flame free yesterday.


Oh ya....I would like to thank IG for letting me know I left my lights on. Too bad he didn't tell me until I was leaving.

Thanks again George for another great time. Rod had a great time as well. He was asking when the next one was.
