Novice maker moving to Montana

[stevenH]

Hi all,
I've been learning to make knives here in Iowa.. 1 completed and one blade almost done. I'm looking for makers in Montana( I will be in Helena) who might considering helping me learn how to make knives.. am willing to pay or do shop work in exchange. I have no equipment.. when I get settled I'll be looking for used belt grinders, etc.
Also.. any classes/workshops in Montana this year. I need to find out about the knife show too.
Thanks all!
Steve Helmick

Montana is chock full of knifemakers.. You shouldnt have a problem finding someone to help you out. They have alot of Hammer-ins and stuff that would be a great place to meet makers.
