Hello everyone.
My name is John Thorpe and I reside in Orlando, FL with wife and kids. I'm just starting out now with knifemaking and am completely inexperienced.
I'm using stock removal methods until learning to forge. I am highly interested in forging especially since it is so easy to build one. I have a friend that has a large brake drum forge built into a table, and he is going to gift it to me. I appreciate that this site is available and the openness and friendliness that posters and responders have shown. I have much to learn.
If anyone is based in the Orlando, FL or central FL area, and would be willing to have a guest observer sometime, please let me know. I know of no workshops or training provided in my area.
Thanks everyone,
jt
