Thanks Mike that probably would be the closest.....But oh that Northern Va traffic....LOL.....I spent 27 years as a Police Officer in Fairfax County...I retired 2 years ago....I'm afraid the trip back might give me TRAFFIC FLASHBACKS!!!....LOL Jim

Thanks to everyone......I actually live in Fredericksburg, and am looking foward to visiting the Guilds in the surrounding area, which will probably be in Tidewater and Charlottsville I guess. Jim

Hi All....My name is Jim. several years back, I lost a dear friend named Russell, who lived in Alabama. I live in virginia. He was an excellent smith. As a matter of fact he was excellent in everything he did...I had the pleasure of making a knife with him before he died, and have not been near a forge since. I have recently thought buying a forge and educating myself by finding some instruction in my area....Anyway I just thought I'd say Hello Jim Covais
