The "Blade" show blues

[Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith]

"I've got those steadily depressin', low down mind bendin', preparin' for the Blade Show Blues..."

I'm not going this year,either.

Cold coffee is annoying, but the other night I realized I had one of my favorite I.P.A's still sitting the on the bench, open and getting warm! I didn't remember it until I was shutting down for the night. That is a serious quality of life issue there!

Dark Star and Trafalgar........ mmmmmmmhhn......:thumbup:


I like my dark ales and stouts in the upper 50's low 60's but I find IPA taste like moose piss above 50F.

Anyway, what were we talking about again?... anybody else thirsty?... it's 839am here... too early?

I am with you Kevin, It is real easy to get too serious about the whole thing. I try to keep in mind that the only reason to do any of it is for the fun of it. I make knives because I have fun at it, and I go to the shows because I have fun at them. There are a lot of easier ways to make a living. Check with me in a year or two when I am testing though I will not have near as much done again this year as I wanted but I will be there. See you all, Table F-10

I'm actually a LOT more relaxed than I expected to be at this point

I have 7 good knives done and one damascus fighter that just needs the handle finished.

I may get to bed before 2 am this next week, who knows......

Stephan, are you still testing this year? I heard of a time frame problem the other day.


I wish I were going. Dang planets just arent lining up right for me. Kaye actually wants to go next year so I'm stoked about that. I gave up my table a few years back. I wonder if they are holding it for me?

I get teased on the forums for starting BladeShow knives in November. I loose sleep if I don't have my whole table profiled and rough ground by the new year. That way I fit the knives in as I am working on my first batch for the year. I have this weekend to put the edge on em and I can get my pink umbrella in my cool aid and chill. I normally opt for some gun fun as a reward for getting done early.

If I can find some old e-mails confirmations or credit card receipts I will be testing this year, crossing my fingers.

Check your old bank statements for the dates. You may need to go to the bank and have them run off a copy. My fingers are crossed buddy.
