and for those of you who asked. here is the story behind my name.

it was back in july, the year of our lord two thousand and ten. i had just bought a house and the previous owner had let the property go to shite, all over grown and needing some serious attention. it is important to note at this point that i stepped in a hornets nest when i was a youngen and was stung a few times leaving me with an irrational fear of bees. so i'm in the back yard clearing brush and i come upon a big nasty hornets nest, so i did the only logical thing and ran away like a little girl and had my wife go dispose of said hornet fortress. hours later i get back to work. i began hacking and slashing, all the while watching out for the vengful hornets looking to take revenge for the genocide my wife had just enacted on them. hack and slash, slash and hack. then a hornet landed on my shoulder mid slash. i was slashing with my right hand when i freeked out and slapped my shoulder with my left hand. my right hand went way off course and the end of the fabled machete came in contact with my foot. it went though the shoe, the sock, the skin, the tendont, and right down to the bone. i now no longer have the ability to lift the big toe on my right foot. the wound somewhat resembled the female genitalia, and i had to some how own the stupidity of this accident seeing that the hornet that landed on my shoulder turned out to be a tree limb that was swaying in the breeze, so i decided to take the name "machetefoot" as my handle because "footvagina" was a little gross and didnt roll off the tonge quite as well. so imaginary hornet cost me a days pay, 6 stitches, and the use of my big toe. you asked...

Congrats! Where are you in NH? I have folks in Merrimack and will be back there this summer. Do you get up to the ABS hammer-in in Maine in the summer?

i live in hooksett, not to far. and as for the hammer-in, i have never attended one, but i suppose i might hit that up.
 
nice looking stuff there man. I have to get off my rear end and make some. Ouch!! That was nasty. Reminds me of when I put a hatchet in my knee. If you can get to the hammer in, go. Loads of fun. I think Aldo is going to that hammer in. If he is, you can get some known steel from him.
 
Nice, I may have to check that out. I have a bunch of the clips that hold the rail down to the plate on the tie, not sure what they are called but they have 1084 marked on them and one of the track guys told me that that is the grade of steel so I guess I got a bunch of 1084 that I am going to start working with. I do so love making knives :)
