Good morning everyone.
Some of you may remember me, i used to be a (beginner) maker on the boards. I've been been in the navy for about 2 years now and I finally have a place to work again. I just set up a small shop and will now be able to continue what I love. I have to say I'm pretty excited, my new shop it great.
I have been lurking on the blade forums regularly for the last few years, I would just like to say that this may be the most helpful resource for beginner knife makers anywhere on the internet.
I drove up to Michigan last week over thanksgiving and I filled up my pickup with all of my tools. it was a long ride (as my Tacoma wasn't meant to hold all that weight) but made it back safe and IM ready to rock. IM stationed in cherry point NC and there isn't much to do here after work except get into trouble so I needed a productive outlet. Plus it wont be hard to move knives on a marine base
. I have only told a few people in my clinic and the word of a custom knife maker on base is spreading like wild fire. So hopefully I will all go well, so I can keep doing it. I couldn't be in a better place to sell knives, Im on a marine air station and Im one hour from camp lejeune and I have a lot of friends in 2nd MARDIV.
I look forward to participating more on the boards and learning from the seemingly endless knowledge on these forums.
off topic: I had to share this because it is awesome. I have a friend here in the clinic and he is a bit of a knife enthusiast so we get along pretty good. anyways we are both out at sears because I had to pick up some switch keys for my grinder and while I looked he was on the phone with his father. He told his father that he was out shopping with a friend who was getting back into knife making, so his father asks if I am on the bladeforums. I say yes and tell my buddy my user name. Then it gets weird and his dad says "are u kidding me" I think I know who that is. so I take the phone and it turns out that we had a IM conversation before I joined the navy and after talking with him I remembered our conversation. so when I got back to my room I looked it up and it was really funny. in his last message there is a reference to his son that is joining the navy a few months later and I might run into him. this whole thing blew my mind in the middle of sears, what are to odds that I would end up in the same "tiny" clinic in the navy and that we would very even find out. this whole thing is a little crazy, it's a small world. I had to share that.
