I think I'm back! After a decade of struggling along, and now that I'm healed up from the December surgery.... I feel better than I have in 10 years!
I had some "free" time this morning, and this is the result.... 5 blades of 80CRV2 forged and in the annealing tub in 2 hours! These are likely bound for this year's Blade Show.
Tim's been keeping me so busy shooting videos for KnifeMakerTraining.com, that I've not had much time for anything else...... but boy.... just me, the forge, and the tools.....feels GOOODDD!! <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//smile.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Glad to hear it!

Glad you are feeling better, surgery can take it out of you. Good looking forgings.
May GOD help you to continue any healing.
