kg8uy Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Name here is Mike and I am getting my old forge ready to make a couple of knives this winter for Christmas gifts. I will be asking questions from all of you from time to time. I am an old retired metal fabricator and still like to make metal do what I want I also want to add to the forum as much as I can but I am green on the knifemaking so please be patient with me Thanks and I look forward to some interacting during the cold grey times this winter in Michigan.

Frosty Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Welcome aboard Mike in Michigan, glad to have ya. There's plenty of knife making extertise to draw on here, take a look around, maybe read the blade making section and join in the discussions. There's a knife chat too though I don't recall what day, I don't make knives myself, my thing is beating hot steel into submission. If you'll click "User CP" at the top of the page and edit your profile to show your location it can make a big difference. IFI is represented by members from more than 50 countries and a lot of info is location specific. Also, if local folk know you're around they can invite you to gatherings, tip you to tool deals and offer hands on help. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
