Hello!
My name is Chris Smith, I am located in Xenia Ohio.
I have been making "wall-hanger" blades since I was a teen.
It's only been over the last few years that I have attempted to make real blades.
Just when I thought I had a grasp on what I was doing...well...things would go south and
I'd put a lot of work into somehting that didn't work.
It took me awhile to discover ABS but I am sure glad that I did!
Books and videos only show so much and since I don't have unlimited resourses to learn from
I thought I'd give this a try.
I am so far impressed, everybody has been real nice and reading through the forums I have seen
many good things...and I am already learning new things!
I have spent many years learning to make blades on my own....which has left me with some huge gaps in my
knowledge...hopefully ABS can help me out a bit!
Thanks for having me!
Chris
