May 29, 200818 yr 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.
May 29, 200818 yr Welcome! Pete's right - you couldn't find a better site - Glenn (the admin) runs a great show here!
May 29, 200818 yr Welcome to the forum!! We love pictures....show us some of your work when you can. welder19
May 29, 200818 yr Author Thanks, I'm working on pictures now. Just bought a digital SLR and I'm trying to "get the hang of it".
May 29, 200818 yr 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
May 30, 200818 yr 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
June 2, 200818 yr Author 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.
June 2, 200818 yr Author 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! Edited June 2, 200818 yr by Big Medicine
June 2, 200818 yr 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.
June 5, 200818 yr Welcome Big Medicine, for ONLY your ninth knife, I would say you are well on your way. That's a nice looking Bowie.
June 5, 200818 yr Author 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.
