I'm Nervous

[stephanfowler]

First thing tomorrow morning I'm going up to Burt Foster's shop

I'm going to take this here knife,

and go through my J.S. performance test.

I shouldn't be nervous, I've done the test in my shop with this exact knifes two brothers (all thermal cycled, Ht'd, and Tempered the same) and it came out beautifully

but I've still got the butterflies goin, which is weird for me since I'm not usually one to get nervous

Man, after seeing that knife, I would be very worried....







Just messin with ya. You'll do fine!

Actually, the performance test is the easy part. It's when you take five knives to Atlanta that you will need to worry.

Yup, I heard that the lights in that room put out more brightness than the sun.

Also heard that those magical lights acted similar to the Hubbel Telescope in magnifying "stuff", AND gave X-Ray powers to anyone viewing objects in the room.

Just be sure to show up with your "bestest stuff"

Good luck my friend,

Robert

I'd wish you luck, but the man who is prepared (such as you) does not need this. However, good luck any way! If your prep work is good, the test should be a breeze. Take lots of pics!

Nervous is normall....mostly just means you care......

For the 5 to Atlanta.....get a small halogen lamp for your

F&F bench......those lamps will expose everything...!

 

[Matthew Gregory]

You, my friend, have nothing to worry about... be well, bro!
