November 8, 200817 yr hello JW, great to have you here. When you get a chance go to the usercp at the top of the page and put in a location. Sometimes it helps in answering question if we know the area your in. Where about in Arkansas are ya. I lived in Blytheville (northeast corner under MO. boot heal) for 3 1/2 years. I was in the Air Force there.
November 14, 200817 yr jwfletch, welcome to Iforgeiron! While you're learning to make knives, your experience as a machinist/millright could come in handy around here. We're all interested in learning new things (especially when metal is involved') Enjoy!
