Whats scary is that I can remember that far back, I can remember new years eve 1969 clear as day. I was all of 5 years old and my father, some what inebriated, told me I needed to find a good redheaded french girl to marry.

Ray, remember that the footage was from 2 cameras shooting at the same time, one for close ups and one further back. It's really not that long. If figure the finished video will be about 2 hours and won't need to be clipped and edited that much, mostly just toggled between the two cameras. I think directing the camera men really helped, in that there's not a lot of wasted footage.

Did the DVD ever come to fruition? Did I miss it? It would be a GREAT stocking stuffer!

Phil,
It's hung up with the editor... It's still in the works, not sure whats taking so long. I've been trying to call him with no luck, but I'll keep on it. Hopefully it won't be too much longer.

Guess what? It's ready!

If interested contact me, Ray or Chuck.

It was an absolute blast meeting so many great folks. Renewing my friendship with Tai was great also. It was 17 years ago when I took my first knife-making lesson from Tai. He is still a fantastic teacher. Thanks for a great time.

Ray and I are trying to get a hammer jammin for 2011 in the Portland area. We just need to Hammer out were and we'll be ready to rock.

Yup, I know I'm quoting you from a year ago, but any chance of this coming to fruition? I meant to grab a DVD at the OKCA show but had to leave a lot earlier than planned...

just realized i forgot to add your post i was referring to; that would help!

OH, I was wondering what you were asking? I talked to Tai about it and he said he'd think about it. I had mentioned it to a couple other guys and they seem interested but nothing firm. I might have to start another thread seeing if there is much interest. Thanks for asking. Got the wheels turning again.
