If any of the other new makers who went to Blade Show are like me... then they are now are buzzing with a strange mix of inspiration, awe, humility and some regret. Every time I go to an event that has the work of the top tier.. I come home with a new purpose driven by an overriding message that I received at the show.
For me it's 'SLOW DOWN! especially when approaching the finish line' and then 'Treat each individual component of a blade as it's own stand-alone work of art'. Thanks to David Lisch, John White and Rodrigo Sfreddo for helping deliver these messages...whether they realized they were or not.
Anyway... I was curious about the messages that some of the other new folks learned.
