Friends,
I am posting this thread here because this is where I made most of my contact with forumites. The past year has been a tumultuous one in my life and for Hatin TEC Knives. In the summer, I moved from my residence of 6 years to another location about 45 miles away. This required the complete dismantling of my shop, a shop that I had spent years creating. It was at my new residence, a small airport, that I was able to pursue my life-long dream of flying. In August, I bought an airplane, a 1946 Taylorcraft BC12D, and havent stopped flying yet!! In September, I also switched jobs, moving from a small Village Police Agency of 5 to a much larger Sheriffs Department. Since that move, I have been working the midnight 8 shift, which leaves little time for anything that work and sleep!! Unfortunately, my desire to make knives has suffered. I have always said that if making knives becomes a chore, I would stop doing them, knowing that the quality would suffer. At some point I will be building my own home, and plans for a large shop are included! When this happens, I will be up and running again, and I hope that the same gracious forumites will be here to share my wares with that have been here in the past. I will still be around and check my emails often, and my website will remain open. Thanks for all your support!!!
