New England Area Hammer

You must be kidding that stuff will disintegrate the forge,floor, and burn a hole and end up some where on the other side of the world.:eek:
 
Indian George,
I posted on CKD, to your notice about the Hammer-In, put links to here and the association web site, I hope nobody minds.
 
Graymaker,
I've been smithing for almost a year. I started with a guy by the name of Scott Hurst down in Abington. He learned from Tim Lively so I was taught the unplugged method. I do use power tools from time to time, but mainly for the finishing. I still find I prefer forging for roughing out a blade. Maybe it's just me, but it seems to go faster that way. Anyway, I would love to join you guys sometime, but I'm moving to Chicago June 1st so I guess I'll just keep in touch through the forum.

Tim.
no problems the way your doing it.
and your welcome into the
New England Custom Knife Association 
NECKA ( the official name as of today)
it's not a member area based club.
all Knife makers are welcome.
along with others in the field.
I don't know Scott Hurst but I have e-mailed Tim Lively
from time to time in the past few years, I like his work..
Ah Chicago,  Navy boot camp 1973 oh the memories :rolleyes:
good luck to you and watch your back.
 
Just to let everyone know, I took all of your advise and instead of making a couple of folder blades out of the twisted frontier damascus billett I mad eI madea dagger out of it. It already had the shape. I'll post pics tonight once I take them.

I think before we set dues. We need bylaws, setup a bank account and officers. The account must have aleast two people to sign off to get any $$$ out. This should be the treasurer and president. I also think that we should have members making collaberation knives. The dudes that get big $$$ for thiers, will only have to grind a blade or put handles and guards. Ex: say G. Dailey and myself did one I would make the damascus and grind the blade and he would do handle and guard and the dues for that year would be 0.IMHO
 
This is my first sole authorship dagger. The damascus was made at Indian George's hammer-in. It is made of 1095, 1084 and 3 patterns of damascus scraps (ladder, twist and raindrop). It has a 5 3/4in damascus blade. I call the pattern dragons breath. The overall length is 10 in. Handle has a titanium overlay anodized purple and abalone scales. Filework all around the handle and a little fluting on the titanium overlay. It has a continuious distal taper starting at the end of the handle and gets extremely thin near the point.
Thanks for looking,
Chuck
