todlerboyd Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hello, I've made a few posts and wanted to introduce myself. I live in Missouri and have a small shop set up in my backyard. I started this addiction buy buying blade blanks and putting handles on them. Then I moved up to building switchblades from parts I ordered online. Still bored I decided to make my own knives instead of just assembling them. It has taken me over a year and I am finally set up and pounding out my own knives. I made and sold several knives to pay for the tools and now I'm starting to make knives that I plan on keeping for myself. I can't help but wonder what this hobby would have been like 20 years ago without the internet to get the info you need to get started. Heres my shop its small and everything in it has burn marks on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve McCarthy Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Nice set up there Tod. Does that cedar stump keep the shop smelling fresh? :P Welcome aboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todlerboyd Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 The shop smells fresh and it keeps the moths away ! I have three brothers one gave me an oak stump one gave me locust stump and one a cedar stump. Also everyone I know brings me old files and old ball peen hammers for some odd reason. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
