I was offerred the opportunity to go visit a friend yesterday, I knew he was a sharp dude, but now, after visiting his many shops, and seeing his knowledge base, I basically think this guy operates on a whole different level of thought than most, if not all of the rest of us. I had had several conversations with him, and we had spoken of his teaching me a bit on some treadle hammer techniques. Now I realize that every move he makes would likely be an education for me.And the tooling! Sheesh ! I will spend my next couple shop sessions trying to make a couple tools he showed me. Understanding all this guy has to teach, I now just have to find time with our schedules to absorb a bit. Hats off to Jim C.

Mike,

Always a pleasure to pass on a few things to someone so willing to learn . The forge is always open.. KEEP YOUR POWDER DRY. 

Forge on and make beautiful things
