Well, I just wanted to drop in and say hello since I have not been around in a while. It has been a really great experience getting to meet and learn from you guys/gals this past year, although I really hate that I was unable to attened October's meeting at the Clay Hill Forge and November's meeting at Metalsmiths, Inc. I need all the help I can get with joinery and meeting someone who has worked in Mr. Yellin's shop would have been pretty cool. I will see ya'll at Sunrise Forge in January. Thanks for all of your help and support. Jeremiah

"The Barn"

Myself, when I get an idea (no request/commisions yet) I start with the basic layout of the piece to scale, I then break it up into smaller sections and sketch many different variations, like lefthand forge I like to put them all down, even the wild and wierd this allows me to put togther many different combinations until I settle for one that I like. By drawing to scale I can approximate my material, which for me is gravy on tha' biscuts:). I just recently started doing this and have not yet completed any, so I guess I will see how well this works for me.

Hello all, just wanted to say that I really enjoyed Saturday's Challenge, and thanks to the whole ODBSA crew for their hospitality. Nice work to ya David, Dale, Mike, Glenn and of course none other than Peyton a.k.a PRIMTECHSMITH, I learned a lot. I am proud to say that I am now a member of the ODBSA and look forward to working with all of ya'll. See ya In August!!!
