Hello everyone, my name is Aaron Pakinas, I'm happy to have made this step towards achieving my dreams. I joined 1 year after starting my first project. I hope to learn and share what I have learned. My shops name is AP's Custom Knives. I do hand forged knives and try to better my craft every time. Thank you all for having me and feel free to chat me up anytime. I'm in Port Angeles Washington, if anyone is nearby I would love to meet you.
Welcome to the ABS and the madness of this craft!
Post your work and not just finished pieces. Post progress shots along the way.
“So I'm lightin' out for the territory, ahead of the scared and the weak and the mean spirited, because Aunt Sally is fixin’ to adopt me and civilize me, and I can't stand it. I've been there before.”
Welcome!
Welcome, Aaron!

Welcome! Also post some shop walkthrough shots. I know I love seeing what people are doing to solve ergonomic and process issues. Joshua C States and Mr. Caffrey have some pretty awesome subtle things in their shop like magnet strips hand tools they have made or purchased that have been crucial in my day to day once I started using them.
Respectfully
Michael
