Zooker89 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Hello everyone, I haven't even lurked on this site and just joined tonight. I am an avid woodworker, making everything from furniture to art pieces to musical instruments. I am currently "making" knives by buying blades and adding a handle, but I can't call myself a knife maker until I forge my own blades. I have built a couple custom motorcycles, and am working on a '61 Ford Unibody now. I am a facilities director for a prestigious girl's school for my career, but find my fulfillment in my hobbies. I am looking forward to learning new things from all of you and developing another hobby I can create art with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Welcome aboard, glad to have you. You are sooo going to fit in here. You my friend are a natural born maker of things. Wood workers and finish carpenters make up a large demographic of blacksmiths. Seems they just can't find or afford to have THAT special plane knife or chisel made so . . . naturally enough decide to hammer it out themselves. Next thing you know your wood working tools are hiding the round toits under a layer of dust. There's a fire calling. I sure hope you like puns and snappy reparte. <grin> Frosty The Lucky.

divermike Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Check out the New York State Designer Blacksmiths, I am a member, and visit when I can. They will further your efforts far faster than you can do on your own. You won't regret it. A finer bunch of folks would be hard to find.
