Hi Sandy,

Welcome to the ABS Forum!! Maybe you can pick Daryl's brain for us, to answer some questions we have on the forum. <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//laugh.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

Welcome to the forum Sandy. Glad you're here.

I put introducing myself on fast track so that it only took a couple of years to actually do it. I plead interference by Nature, as I was interrupted by a tree (130 years old) slicing my new shop nearly in half during Hurricane Sandy. Since I still maintain my day job teaching at a Medical School, I have just slowly gotten fully functional again.

Then I was at the point where I had borrowed enough shop time from my friends so as to have blades to be judged for Journeyman at the last show, but I became a grandfather at the same time, and my wife shifted my priorities.

I consider myself to be Daryl Meier's oldest living apprentice, as I took my first Smithing course with him at Peter's Valley in 1987. In another 27 years I should be half as good as he is now.

Glad to be Here Sandy Klein
