Big Medicine Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 New to Forum, thought I'd just say Hello. I' ve been forging knives about 4 months now and I'm still setting up shop. I'll be reading a lot more than posting until I get to know the members and see how the forum works. I live in Mississippi and work at one of local colleges, spend most of my time hunting and fishing when I'm not in the shop. My Login comes from the name of my forge, Big Medicine Forge or BMF for short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Medicine Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Thanks, I'm working on pictures now. Just bought a digital SLR and I'm trying to "get the hang of it". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas de Marr Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Thanks, I'm working on pictures now. Just bought a digital SLR and I'm trying to "get the hang of it". Ah, an SLR camera! You don't do things by halves, do you? Those are some nice cameras, not the most user-friendly, though. I sold digital cameras and computers at Circuit City for a couple years, so I probably know more than I would ever want to about them. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDW Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Hello Big Medicine, I like to make knives as well. Glad to see another Mississippian. If you have any question you can bet someone here can answer it. Welcome aboard. LDW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Medicine Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 This is my 9th knife. Very few people will ever see knives 1-8. Still on the steep part of the learning curve. Coffin Handle Bowie O-1 tool steel, forge welded 0-1 guard, bone scales, brass pins, modest file work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Medicine Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) Thanks (to someone) for thumbnailing the pics. Sorry if it caused problems with the forum, I guess I haven't found out where or how to do that yet. Just found the sticky on posting photos, will do! Thanks again to the admin or member!

Glenn Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Posts with images are reworked so the overall *look* of the forum remains consistent. This also allows those folks with slow modems to view the view the forum as quickly as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrynjr Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Welcome Big Medicine, for ONLY your ninth knife, I would say you are well on your way. That's a nice looking Bowie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Medicine Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Thanks, but don't look to closely! I am amazed by the quality I see here, not to mention the photography. Goals for the Seeker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
