Now I haven't seen any knives lately that the damascus was made over here at the HI's and from the wrought iron and MC chains that I have sent out.:confused:
Lets see!!!
Lil Joe (valimas)
Dave the Greek
Missed Placed Yankee (Tom Militano)
Fred Rowe ( I know you just got your chain:jerkit:;) :D )
Louis ( rocketmann)
Fatzo ( Link is to pretty to cut)
Mr. Purple, did you make a billet????
And all you other guys that I did mentioned.
Lets have some show and tell.:D :D
 
I have a sketch of an Idea for that stacked billet we did.I work at a snails pace bubba :D But I am getting faster.

I got your show and tell right here!

I told ya what the story was. I got that link and I could feel it resonate with the past, like it may have come off a whaling ship or somethin' like that.

Ever since I gained all this weight, I realized I must have been a whale once in the past like I am now. I understood this could well be something from my ancestors, and I couldn't break the chain, so to speak. Hell, it may be the last momento of Uncle Blue from the day he swam off to get a little and never came back. Auntie Oil cried for days; all she did was hang there and blubber.

I realized then I couldn't trash this memorial. It's a link with my whale memories.

How's that? I couldn't show ya a knife but I made up a line o' crap for ya.... :D
That link sits right on my bench and I look at it every time I'm down in the shop. Maybe someday I'll hack into that, but for now I'll just just hang onto it for the small treasure it is. Thanks, IG!

You got very little to show and nothing to tell about.
And you must be the missing link.:D
PS: Your Welcome. :D
 
Did I ever say how much I love reading some of the hilllllllarious BS on BF Shoptalk?

I have an idea for a name change for the forum:

Shop Talk - BladeSmith Questions and Answers. The art of knife making- advice on methods, supplies, and materials AND Bullsh*t for your Virtual Happy Garden.

This is truely a fun place to "be".

Oh, I don't know about that!! Nanc has been telling me for years how downright literary I am.

Sometimes she tells me I'm a short story. Other times a one act comedy. :D

I've always been very proud of that, and awarded myself Pull-itzers! ;)

:cool: Every time I have the forge out I spend some time working a chunk of that chain down, I need to make some tsuba out of it. I gave a piece to a knifemaker buddy of mine too. I'm kinda like Fitzo though, I'm reluctant to chop up the other link I have, it's like an artifact! Trouble is when you are averaging an hour or less a week on knifemaking it's slow going! Maybe if I gave up sleeping...hmmm.

Didn't you get a billet of wrought iron too???:D
 
Once i have some shop time after xmas, ill also have the two integrals i made on your press ready for show!

At the spring HI, i'd love to work on some damascus...I have a special bike chain that came off the winning mountain bike at the world downhill championships a few years back...no clue if its able to be made into a billet, but ive always wanted to have a MTB-specific knife custom made to my bike frame and can't think of a better karma piece to carry riding than one made from that chain.

Nope, that bastid Mace had me making my first forged knife, which (mainly because of him) turned out fantastic, until I truly MF'd it with the grinder.

He's never forgiven me, and rightfully so.

It is my hope to get my new forge fired up tomorrow afternoon, so hopefully I'll have something to show soon!

Dave, you should come down before the spring HI. That way you can have my undivided attention.:confused: The chain we could canister weld it, but I couldn't tell you if it would make a good blade.:confused: :confused:
PS: You would have to bring the beer.:cool:
