markb Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Just found this site a couple of days ago, seems like a great bunch here. I'm an electrician by trade and learned to weld on the job 27 yrs. ago, pretty much self taught. Got interested in knives in the late '70's and started collecting blacksmithing tools (mostly garage sales) and never seem to make enough time for learning as I would like. The last few months I've been reclaiming my shop which had been taken over by storage and neglect. I have a 25# little giant that needs a rebuild, a knife that I started a couple years ago that needs to get done. I've found lots of inspiration here and look forward learning and sharing here.
