I can not explain it in words the talent that was at the hammer in today. The show and tell was unbelievable. The New England Knifemakers Asso. has begun and we are going to have alot of fun.
Will be put pic on webshots.
 
George,
I have two words for you, THANK YOU! Thank you for the invite to the Hammer-In and the opportunity to be a member in the club.
What a day!! The FOOD, the Exchange of ideas between Knifemakers and your hospitality made the 2 hour drive a Breeze. I look forward to the next gathering. Remember if you need me you know where I am.

we most definitly have to have more of these... met a great bunch of incredible people,that share in the love of knife making...from forging to stock removal...
learned a whole bunch and am very thankfull to Indian George for getting this started!!!...the start of this group,reminds me of an old Monkeys tune...Here We come...walking down the street!:D ;)
 
George - I have to commend you for organizing this and pulling it off - it couldn't have been better! Great bunch of folks, terrific food, discussion, damascus being made and forged all day - a real treat - I'm looking forward to the next one.

Thanks for inviting me - much appreciated

Hey George
I just rolled in home 10:43
and 693 miles round trip.
I had a great time.
I dare say Lamont and Paul did too.
and looking forward to rolling on in the new club.

The food,the time,The set up you did was fantastic
along with the cost you must have
endured for the gas and ele. ecct I thank you.

  The knives shown were great some valued up to 4,000.00

To the guys that didn't make it, you missed a great
Hammer-in
Joe Thanks for the time you
spent on us at the forge
and all involved,
wolf too for the demonstrations.
and all the good talk with all you guys that were there.
I could go on and on but
I'm headed for bed, been up since 2:30 AM but well
worth it..will do again anytime.  Thanks ALL.
:D :D
 
What Bruce said! Unfortunately for me, a family party kept me away this time but my Grandma only turns 85 once! :)
 
Hey Bob
nice pictures, only problem is
you got ME in one of them.:eek: 
  I'm grinding on the cable Damascus I made right now.
  It's going to be good...:D
 
George, I sure wish I could have made it up to New Bedford this weekend, but it's kind of a long haul from Alabama Looks like you had a good turnout, good weather, and a good time. Did you introduce any of them to your pepper relish? You don't need a forge with that stuff, just breath on a hunk of metal and start hammering. It has humbled some rednecks down here, left a couple of them speechless. Let me know when and where to send my dues.
 
Tom: O!O!O! Yea!!!! The relish was in taste testing contest. Get your ass up here for Aug. 17 & 18. Tell the little lady how much you miss your sister.
 
Oh my GOD I could smell how hot that stuff was from across the table, That stuff is so hot I warned one of the knifemakers to watch out because that stuff is going to BURN TWICE!!!!

Roy: that's just one part of our "secret" heatreating cycles :p George is the master of the High test hot relish ... and your right it does burn twice
;)
 
I thought about sticking a blade in it to see if 
we'd come up with a new way of hot bluing
but was afraid of warping it with the heat.
:D
 
I would just like to thank everyone that was there. And espically George and Joe for all they time they took instructing everyone. It was a great time. I already ground a blade out of a billett that I made while I was there. It was destined for folde blades but everyone there said it alresdy had the look for a dagger. It was made up of a whole bunch of leftover scraps of damascus, what people have been calling "frontier" damascus. But with a little help I twisted the billett and it came out awesome. I'll post pics when i'm done. I needs a Damascus guard and some Pearl scales.
Thanks,
Chuck
