Good to hear you're still alive, bro... can't face next weekend with Mace alone!

Did everyone have a good time? Anything noteworthy happen?

It was a great day. Weather was fantastic, the "pink Hot dogs were weird", the demos were cool, the forges hot, and the company excellent.

Didn't crack up my cycle riding home, beat the rain which was heading west, though I thought I was going to get a soaking. The skies were clear and blue but within a 1/2 hours it was cloudy with lightning coming down. It was a close one, but I beat the rain.

Can't wait till Friday, guess I'll call in sick at work, meet up with Mace and drive to Ashokan,,,,,excellente :thumbup:
 
I wasn't able to make it at the last minute something happened the night before that prevented me from coming saturday. BOOOO!!!

Instead I was able to put up a 30 foot wall in my basement and make a nice 22 foot wraparound bench and get all my tools wired and hooked up...the shop is looking good! Ill be back in business, renewing my knifemaker membership and posting knives and pictures soon! My first little knife came off the bench late last night!
 
Dude, you were supposed to be there representing us little bastids in the cutting comp!

So Mace just walks away with the championship belt through forfeit?

NO WAY!

I hereby challenge Mace to a no-holds-barred thumbwrestling competition at Ashokan (I'll wait to start until after I get him good and drunk!).

THERE IT IS--

THE OFFICIAL 2006 ASHOKAN THUMBWRESTLING INVITITATIONAL.

(There's no way in hell Mace is fitting into the tights I got for the official uniforms, so this ought to be good.)
--Spangler, you better be there to distract him so I don't take the full brunt of his wrath for this one, man...

Wish I could have been there with you guys... according to an email blast I just received, J Neilson unveiled a new etching method he picked up -- the pics look pretty cool!
 
Last thing I want to see is you in a pair of tights wrestling with your pink hotdog in the dark!:eek: :jerkit:
I think I will forefit the Ashokan invitational. I have a good idea where you keep your thumb when your not using it!:thumbup: :rolleyes:
Your time is running short!
Mace
 
Now wait a second Mace.

Mr Purple, there was no cutting contest. Mace handed me a cut bottle and said "wadda ya think". We had no rope and Mace never brought his "iron" 2x4 out to cut. I don't think there was a place to set it up safely. He did however show us how to make W2 explode.
:rolleyes:


The Hammer-In was alot of fun. A good time, good food and new things to try. I know know alot about Kydex from Mike the human Kydex press and picked up some more of his wonderful burl wood. Jim had some killer grinding tips and handle techniques. Rene showed up with some of the best business cards ever made (Rene your the man!) and much more. A great time all around.

The mustard finish thing was passed onto me by by our own Raymond Richards and Wayne Goddard. Both are walking wealths of knowledge and a wonderful help. Thanks to both.
Here's more on that if your interested-

That's not what IG says about you!:D

So, does the fact that you're refusing my challenge mean that I WIN BY DEFAULT!!!!?!?!?!

WOOHOOO!!! I am the Unbeaten Champion Thumbwrestler of the WORLD!



...see you in 4, bro!

J, I'm sorry I missed the chance to talk to you... hopefully coming up soon! Are you hitting Ashokan?
 
Nope, no Ashoken this year. I'm going down to Winston-Salem in Oct. for the Hammer-In there. Unfortunately I can only make so many events. If your ever in PA your welcome to swing by though.
 
Safety first J.! I was standing directly under the buffer when I cut that.:rolleyes: .......if I remember corectly(wich my wife tells me I never do) you were afraid to cut that 2b4.:eek: Isnt exploding steel fun...that grain was so big you could make beer from it.:D

Matt,
Fine. I accept your challenge.
I said I would never thumb wrestle again after that unfortunate accident at the finals so many years ago. It's always sad when an athlete dies doing the sport he loves.:(

I call midnight the 16th on the bridge......

Mace (a.k.a "The Hitchhiker")
 
I would like to say this about the hammer-in:

It was not quite the same without Indian George.

There, I said it.
If anyone would like to add somethig, please feel free.
Mace
 
IG is definately one of a kind, I'm very bummed out that he left NECKA :(

Larry T

Member in good standing (stumbling or crawling :D ) of NECKA, NCCA & ABS
 
Yeah they don't make em like him anymore.... thank god:jerkit:
he broke the mold.... and forged it up in a canister with some 52100 powder and some indian parts
 
Guys!!! Thanks
Now I didn’t want to get involved in this. But since I am a Big Pain In The ASS I can’t help myself.
Ø The last HI if it was held over here I would have had an election of Officers and the following I would of nominated.
Ø President- Dan Gray (I did want to vote for myself)
Ø Vice-President- GrassHoppa (M. Spangler)
Ø Treasure- J. Neilson
Ø Secretary –Bill Vinning
If I would get re-elected back as president there would be a number of changes that I would presented to BOD, that I would like to be seen in By-Laws and etc.
Also I would not return to the club unless Dan Gray would resigned
This is just the way I feel. No one is going to tell me who and who I can’t have at my shop.:mad: :mad:
It took me to quit the club to get the other members more involved and to take their fingers out of their Ass’s
 
It was not my intent to open up club business on the forums(or old wounds), but we didn't have any kind of meeting at the hammer-in...and nothing about this whole thing was discussed...at least not in the open.
Now its clear IG has a problem with Dan. Lets see if cooler heads can prevail.

Without either of you I don't think NECKA would even exsist.

It seems you both have a lot on your respective plates right now and tension may be high.
We are all adults here (well except for Mike;) )....lets act acordingly.

I think you two need to hash this out and kiss and make up!

I would even be willing to mediate if it's needed.

You don't have to like each other....I would settle for tolerate.
If you guys want this club...and want it to grow...you need to settle this.
Mace
 
Dan!!! Mace is making fun of me!!!!
i am too an adult!!!:grumpy: ;)

Well i discussing it briefly with Dan but we are going to have a meeting... Joe came up with the idea of having one after the next NCCA show. most of us are there anyway. it'll help clear things up and get em going on track
I think we all know what needs to be done. Or else like waffle boy said
its gonna go down the tubes. but lets not get carried away on the forums

so I'm not sure why you are now you dropped out as a member..to little to late..:(
first of all we could not have an election with-out a full member vote and that's to be done by e-mail where as all members can not attend the H/i's
it's in the bylaws :rolleyes:
If I would get re-elected back as president there would be a number of changes that I would presented to BOD,
if you were re-elected what would change? and why didn't it before now??
I tried to bring this stuff up many times..
you can't change the by-laws it's a full member thing to change them..

well I'm sure sorry you feel that way George. you've said your say so I'll have mine in the name of Necka, not personally

Also I would not return to the club unless Dan Gray would resigned
I'd have hoped our friendship would have been better than that..and kept personal out of it..so we know where the bear takes his dumps now at least..

No one is going to tell me who and who I can’t have at my shop.:mad:
I do feel for you and YOUR shop and that is why we should never have had a hammer/in at your place..
the by laws were made by us all and when you have a Hammer/in in the name of Necka, then that's the way the ball bounces, you can't have it both ways, your place or not if you have it as a club function,
that where the problem lay...

if you or anyone else would have me do anything but what the members asks for, in the laws set by us all, then I would not be doing my job as VP or the BOD's,,you've stepped on members with-out regard..

You took it personal and should not have, you have made the right choices for yourself imo and many others feel the same way..

if the guys don't want me as the VP of necka then so be it but it's up to them and I sure won't grovel over it.... but I won't step down just because you couldn't handle your end, and want to jab at me here.. ..and coming on here saying that bull.

if we had gone with my suggestions to have the H/i's in a public place this would not have happened , I saw it coming .after the last time you went off the deep end.
you did not want to push for this so we had no choice to have it at
your place with your thumb on the club so it could not expand.

you got cornered by saying we have not lost members and I showed you just who dropped out and you got PO'ed, it's as plain as that..:jerkit:

now ..to send an e-mail like you sent to Paul was just wrong, for you to do that in the manor you did it in a position of head of necka ,

that sure would be an interesting piece to post here just so the guys can see what you're made of..but I'm not going to do that to you, you do yourself harm just fine with-out any help from others..:(

don't take this personal George, it's just to stick up for Paul and rightfully should be done, if no one else will I'll have to..(yes the whole BOD's saw it) he was doing his job as well,,, and you didn't like it..this is a members club not a one man party.

I am stooping a bit myself right now , Paul is a bigger man then I am for not saying anything about it here..
we all have our own problems but we don't use them to gain sympathy...enough said..non members don't have a say in it..
 
well it's sad George you had to twist things up to suit your needs, you brought up "your lady" into this in the first place, it had nothing do with your quitting the club, it had no place here, it's personal and you should have kept it that way
, you attacked me and I've just tried to lighten this up a little and you keep twisting it into something it's not..,
so you'll see that I've cleaned up what you took wrong, I didn't call you names, what I said was you went off on Paul like a baboon, which you did..you were wrong to do that in the position you held..

Paul just said to you why with what's on your plate have another hammer/in when just a short time ago you said you were backing off from these things, it's in another thread what you said, he was just asking you why??

if anyone here else here thinks what you said to Paul is right,, then guys tell me and I'll stand corrected..
then you bring it here, after you saying it was between you and him. shame on you George.. yes I said you have a drinking problem.. that came from others that know you much better than I do . I should not have said that yes shame on me for that..

remember you started this in the necka thread,
by saying you didn't want to get into this... so why did you then??
you should have took your own advice and not got into matters not concerning you anylonger..give it up please..

go ahead and twist this up if you will..all the guys know what is going on, we had a great time at the hammer/in,, like it or not it's a necka club not a George club..and that just pisses you off. let it go you can lie, make up things, and try and say your right all you want but it won't change a thing..you know one of the guys at the Hammer/in said you were a very intelligent man but you can be very very nasty to everyone also..that was not from me but a long time member others feel the same way take that as you will..with your heart of gold..

Mace was right, it's not the same with-out you I agree, we had a lot of fun, the fact is you quite over some stupid wording in the by-laws and you were not looking out for the club, I told you before it was not wise to have the hammer/in at your place or at anyone's home, and you did the exact same thing again as you did once before proving me right in what I saw coming..
..I'm done with this you have a good time saying what you want......



anything else said concerning Necka guys please keep it with in the members
and the BOD.. this is going to turn into a pissing contest and there's no need for it..
