Glad it made it ok. Looking forward to what should be a good learning experience for me.

Slick looking knives man. Keep up the good work

I had a couple of questions on this, so just to clear it up. There is no cost what so ever for the classes. The only thing you will have to pay for is your fuel to drive here, and to bring a sack lunch, and supper.

Thats very nice.

This is my issue. I want to leave verizon so bad I can't stand it, but on the otherhand, all the other options suck when it comes to coverage. And I don't live in town, which makes the coverage issues that much worse.

I cracked my Droid Bionic a couple weekends ago. The screen isn't just destroyed, it has two cracks in it, one going across sideways, the other meeting that one at an angle. I'm looking for someone who can replace my screen for a reasonable price. Is there anyone in Knoxville, Oak Ridge, etc that does this kinda work? I really don't want another device through verizon, this one took forever to get sorted back out to were I wanted it. Thanks guys

I literally just got the ICS update. Phone is updating right now. I love my Droid OS, but hate verizon as a service.

I'm fed up with verizon. When my contracts up I'm out for good. I've been waiting on the Droid bionic ICS update for a year now, and now we have devices with Jellybean. So much for buying a flagship phone....

Anyone else?

He does stock removal for knife making.

Gorgeous is the only word for that.

Very very nice.

I've cut 1" rope with it last week, no video. I'll try and get another piece to replicate. I'll do some kindling, and fine something fine to slice with it.

Cutting a beer can in half horizontal Splitting full beer can vertical Cutting a solid plastic screw driver handle in two. This one should have been a single blow Anyone have a torture test they would like to see? I'm not scared of beating on it, short of just slamming it into a piece of tool steel, or treating it like a pry bar.

I'll take that as a compliment. It does pretty good to be rough work.

Btw, I'll be making one also. Just wanted to make that clear lol

I told you guys I would get to it, sorry it took so long. This is the TGO knife in the hat. The rules are below, but basically you make or buy a knife that fits the guidelines, before the specified date. Once you have the knife made or bought, post a picture to show you have it, and your name will be throw in the hat. Post here so that we have an ideal of participation before as soon as you know you'll participate. And away we go: Knife type: Small utility knife Overall length should be less than 10" Blade length should fall under the 4" requirement Price: Knife should be valued between $40-$100 dollars Knife must be bought or made and boxed, ready for shipment by Dec. 1st. Names will be matched before Dec. 5th, and knives should be shipped no later than Dec. 10th. Any questions ask here. This is meant to be fun, and to be something like a secret Santa for Knife enthusiast.

Naw I don't mind lol. It needs to be tested to see what it can withstand. That way I'll know if I'm tempering to hard, or to soft, if my steel is tough enough, etc. Remember the only rules after you get it are good pictures, and an honest review of what you did and didn't like, and what the knife does, and doesn't do well. Also sign the deerskin the knife is wrapped in, and pass it on. As of now the list stands as: TrickyNicky (Shipped to him this morning 10/22/2012) Maroonandwhite BJB Broomhead

I don't know how we could remedy that honestly. My parents don't want to have people coming in and out of the house that they don't know. If we had a setup like we do at my house, where the garage can be locked out, it'd be different. May seeing about an outhouse, if we can get more participation. We will be doing it again, along with a lot of one and two day blacksmithing

No its not, I'm leaving it open until I have it back from BJB or someone else request it. If it gets passed around for 6 months its not gonna hurt my feelings. You wanting in?

Leatherwork is fine with me. We can do that after we forge all day

Cutting 1 gallon water bottles in half Vertical cutting water bottles Vertical cutting aluminum Coors light pints full of water Just thought I'd throw up a video while I was beating on it a lil.

Once again, after the initial success of two hammer ins, My dad and myself are opening up the Flatwoods Forge to anyone who would like to learn to forge steel. We are gonna start doing it different. Because of only having one anvil, and one forge, we are going to limit it to 2 people per weekend. Now I'm opening this up for every weekend between now and Feb. So hopefully anyone who would like to do this, gets a chance too. 1 or 2 day class option, with primitive camping onsite. You will need to provide food and drink for yourself, we provide the campsite, and plenty of firewood. We can provide the steel, but most of our stuff is scrap we have collected. Leaf springs, coil springs, both of which make good knives. We also have railroad spikes, horseshoes, and different pieces of square, round, and rectangle stock. Good steel such as 1084 is optional, we can order it and you can pay us at the class, or you can order it and bring it with you, from newjerseysteelbaron.com. See examples below to see what can be done in a 2 day weekend with a good effort. Please post here AND send me a PM if your interested and we will get you scheduled and setup. Thanks guys.

Yeah, I understand stuff stands in the way pretty often. If everyone keeps bring railroad spikes, I'm gonna be able to start laying track soon lol. Dan brought down several last time, and George brought several this time. They are fun to play with, and make some good designs.
