Knifemaking classes, shows, hammer-ins

if you dont like how he runs his HI or when he schedules them then thats your problem. we dont want to know about your problems, we have enough of our own to worry about.
 
Pimplesqueeze,
Why don't you spend some time making knives instead of posting foolishness all friggin day? Youv'e got 1000+ post in 3 months? How many knives you made? What, like 2 isn't it? How's this for an idea, instead of interjecting in whatever happens between me and Georgie, mind your own f@#king business.

Rick

JR, Thanks for your support. Do not lower yourself to Rick's level. This is not the proper forum to address this. I respect both your opinions and just let it alone please.
Thanks IG.
 
Watch the language kiddies. This post is also not for your stupid arguing.

Rick, Edit your post and I.G edit yours as to not quote Rick please.

I don't want to fill this thread up more then need be but just an up date for the Necka 5/26/2007 H/I planed
numbers are coming up for the Necka H/I :thumbup:

we sent out 45 emails yesterday.. to past members that dropped out a few years ago, because of things not going as planed as far back as 2002 and to others that were thinking about joining back then and to some that are just on the fence about it now... if they have/had a current email with us. only one has been returned as of today..:thumbup:

Current members will be getting a different letter also,
so ..
email with your interest or concerns, there's no need to post here if you feel uncomfortable doing so as a mater of fact please just email us... we've made a decision not to post who has signed up on these forums,

we have over a month yet.

the place we have in Mass will hold 120 people
no more tent rentals
or renting porta johns
so the price of the H/I will be less for current members, food included

see the web site for up dates and email addresses , www.necka.net
and if you have interest in future functions and do not have your email listed with us please email us and we'll be glad to let you know what's going on..
see you there :thumbup: have a good one guys:)

edited,, took this out , it's fixed now
 
Just a heads up on the Mini-HI on 5-?-07. This will be kept to a head count of ten. I'll be doing a demo on making a ladder pattern Damascus billet. This is more of a one on one HI.

Will have all the four forges up and running.:cool: :thumbup:
The date will be changed as soon as I here what date that Charo has available he will be doing a Mokumne demo.;)
 
Greetings all,

I wanted to put a quick post here to announce that
HowToMakeAKnife.net has been officially launched.
We really appreciate all of the responses we've received from
this forum.

We currently have online over 80 minutes of knife making videos
available for downloading and viewing -- covering a number
of topics. And more videos will be forthcoming in the next few months.

As I mentioned in previous posts, these videos are taught by
Jim Ferguson (my dad), who's been featured in countless knife magazines,
and has been making knives for many many years. He also has
an extensive background in drafting and sheet metal that makes
the information in these videos unique.

We did our best to make them as thorough, detailed, and as well
produced as possible.

Stop on by!

Thanks for the space to post this.
