Hendo Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Howdy, I'm new here and am very eager to soak up the information offered on IFI. I haven't been making knives for very long but plan to never stop doing it. I can't wait to learn all I can from you all and hope to eventually be able to sell some of my creations.

ThomasPowers Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Good location to start from, just tell folks that Festus is short for Hephaestus Blacksmith of the Greek Gods! (Actually there are a lot of historical Festuses, Festii? (GramHam how would you suggest pluralizing it?) Are you doing any forging or all stock removal? What's your shop like?

Hendo Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 I started with stock removal on old sawmill blades. And tomorrow morning I'm building my first forge! And I do all of my work in my 40x50 pole barn that used to be used to store racecar parts. The plan is to end up with enough equipment to justify using the whole building and not just a corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
