I`ve had another request from a semi local guy to learn the basics. I thought it might be a good time for a JK open house. We can do a little knifemaking and cook some burgers and hotdogs, and shoot the bull. I figure starting about 8am and finishing whenever. This includes all you Illinois "lurkers"! All I ask is if you don`t wear glasses pick up a pair of safety glasses at Lowes or Home Depot, along with a dust mask. If you are interested, post here. It will be fun!

Everyone who comes will be making their own "Tin Knife", so get a piece of cardboard 3/4" x 4" and design your own style. I even have some scrap handle material if you want to put handles on it.

If you come, please bring a lawn chair. This will be happening rain or shine! This will be a good opportunity to discuss some wilderness and camping skills.

1) Stomper
2) Old Painless

3) BushcraftBrainTrust

I might be able to make it out there. Can I wear the cool safety glasses that go over regular glasses?

And I even have 2 pieces of orange G10 1/4" thick left over from your Neckmuk ;)

Cool, I dropped the Camp Cleaver off at JRE Industries this morning. I'm hoping to get a rig for your get together. They do serious work and justifiably have a serious backlog, so I can't guarantee anything. :thumbup:
 
If I get a load delivering nearby you can be sure I'll be there!
 
Darn, just learned about something else going on Saturday...I hate making decisions. Not sure where Polo is but he is southwest suburbs of Chicago if I remember right.
 
GAH! I would love to make it to this. Unfortunately, my band is playing a show that day. You all have a great time and I'll try to make the next one.
