Wanted Aprentice, Again.

[Alan Folts]

Well, due to some unfortunete circumstances, the person that was going to start learning from me in January will not be able to take me up on my offer.

So the offer is put back into the cycle. Anyone that would like to learn knifemaking in exchange for labor should please contact me. I live in the eastern area of North Carolina and would like to get someone to help me soon.

Please contact me or post here if you are interested..

I am the person with the unforunate circumstances, I got a job offer in Tennesee that I can't pass up.

I have been to Alan's shop, and ground with him, he is an exelent teacher, more than fair, his work is VERY good. I can not give him high enough marks. It was a very hard decision to take the job in Tennesee not only because I would not be able to learn from Alan, but also because Alan is one of those people who are just plain fun to be around.

I still plan to head over to NC every chance I get to grind with Alan and learn everything I can from him. You will not find a better teacher.

Thanks for the chance Alan

I wish I lived in N.C. Hey Alan ever want to move to the midwest

I had seriously thought about it. Always wanted to make my own knives. At the risk of sounding arrogant, I've never really seen many knives out there that I liked. Something was always wrong somewhere, IMO. Also, I've got ideas.. very specific ideas that I, sadly, haven't seen anyone bring it to light. Probably because it's a bad idea, who knows.

Alas, I can't. I am seriously grounded to where I am.

OK, Alan - this is my final offer. You agree to pay my small plane fare each weekend, put me up for two nights, feed me (this'll be your biggest expense

), and MAKE THAT CUSTOM SEBENZA-BASED PIECE I've been buggin' ya for, and I'll do it. Reluctantly.

Hay Mike,
I like Alan where he is !!!
NC is just as friendly to gun and knife people as FL. ... Got any room for me??

Seriously though guys, Alan is making a great offer … I've learned much just talking with him. If you had opportunity to work with him you'll gain something that you'll never lose. If you're a college student he is not to far from ECU a first rate school. Transfer???
