Greetings everyone! I'm very excited to say that I will be attending my first craft show this year, the Ameliasburgh Fall Fair on Saturday September 20th, the Vigil of St. Matthew. People have been telling me for years that I should participate in an event like this, and things just have not lined up for me to do so, until now. Given that this is nearly six months away, and I have invested more heavily this year than ever before in getting blanks of many of my designs waterjet cut and heat treated in multiple alloys, I will have time to gradually create a diverse selection of offerings for the fairgoers.
In the interest of transparency, be it known that my intent is to make about one of these per week until that time, alongside existing custom orders, so long as the additional volume of work does not threaten to delay the expected time frames I gave to anyone who has paid a deposit for their order.
I will post pics of my builds as I usually do in the "What's Happening in the David Mary Custom Shop?", but I won't necessarily call specific attention to Fair knives as such. However, on my Instagram page davidmary255 I will be specifically singling out certain builds destined for the event and tagging the Fair organizers so that their followers will be able to get a glimpse of the WIP and finished product in advance of the fair. I won't disclose every build destined for the Fair that way, so that IG followers will still be able to be surprised by some unexpected items come Fair day.
