Congrats on the hammer. Brian's hammers are the best I have ever seen or used. I love my 2# rounding hammer.

I really treasure the experience I was able to glean from spending the few weeks he was here with us in Virginia. Being able to participate in making my hammer and just watching and listening to him work gave me a deeper understand of moving material under hammer. Spend as much time as possible around Brian...He is the very best in my opinion.

I need to get me another hammer...a cross pein like my boss's. I just need to save up some cash and/or make up a holiday! HA!!

I am also looking forward to South Dakota this July to hang out around him again at the ABANA Conference.

Here is a link to the info on the conference for anyone interested.

Call the ABANA Central Office and talk to JoAnn if you have any questions on it. I have been there once already in the fall and toured the site. It is a cool location...a little bit our of the way, but is a prime spot for a family vacation.

You can save a little cash by camping on site. The college next door is offering up dorm rooms and meal plans to that could save you some coin.

I will be there. It is going to be a good conference. I have seen the site and toured the college. The deomnstrations are going to be first class as well! It is going to be well worth the trip to go.

I have not decided yet if I am flying or driving.

wine bottle holder is a great idea.

I want to try it our of 1" round and incorporate a candle cup or two somewhere...

Thanks for all the encouraging words too. I consider myself a beginner and still need a lot more experience...

Thanks for all the positive mojo everyone.

It was a cool project...
