John McPherson Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Hi Matthew, welcome aboard. There is a state-wide group, and local sub-chapters nearly everywhere you go. The local branch of NC ABANA meets in Mooresville monthly, on a Sunday. Details here: http://www.ibiblio.org/nc-abana/regional_groups.html And by the way, that is a great looking 200+ year old Colonial pattern anvil that you have there. Don't get too aggressive with the grinder on that beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazmat83 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 thank you for the info gentlemen. I hope I can make one of the up coming meets there in Mooresville Mr. Pierson. I found a piece of rail so I think I'm going to put that anvil up for awhile. so I don't do anymore damage. the guy said I could have the rail just come get it. its 10' long. so I'm going to try a few different ideas.

jay_cat Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I wanted a to buy a new kukri and thought $300 was a lot of money. After watching videos of the men making kukris, hammering barefoot on a sledgehammer head cemented to the floor, I though " I can do that. this looks easy." I've spent way more than $300 and still have yet to forge a kukri. I'm still practicing on bottle openers and s hooks for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
