John Costa Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Hi Guys, I'm John Costa from Watkinsville Ga. Been a knife maker for around 15 yrs. I have recently started working with a lady who does fused glass. I've been making chandelier frames . More fun than knife making I must say. Hope to learn from this forum. Thanks, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Welcome aboard John, glad to have ya. I've made a few blades and agree 100% it's more fun forging ornamental stuff than finishing knives. I'm into it for playing in the fire and hitting hot metal. Just a couple things, we like good conversation and we LOVE pics. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
