Hi Bradley nice to see another northern boy on the forum welcome

Dave

Hey folks, my name is Danny Ray. I live in Acworth,Ga with my Beautiful wife Rebecca and our two kids Donovan and Sheridan. I've been forging and making knives for about 1 1/2 years. So far most of my instruction has been from Fred King and Brad Singley. I'm very new to forging and knife making so I look forward to gaining some wisdom and insight from folks on this forum. I'm an acft A&P mechanic by trade, an occupation I started learning during my 6 years of active duty. I also love to hunt and fish and spend as much time as possible with my family. Talk to you all soon. Thanks,Danny

Thanks again, I have my sites set on the J.S. stamp now, so if i bug you guys for knowledge, its because i won't stop until i get to where i'm going. Thanks

Hi folks:

I never did formally introduce myself to the forum as a new member. I joined earlier this year. I'm a rookie smith in Massachusetts and I just attended my first blade show last weekend. WOW! I can't believe the warm greeting from all the bladesmiths I met, thanks to Ed and Brion for a lot of chat about blades and all things pertinent. I probably spoke with no less than 20 Masters and Journeyman and it certainly boosted my enthusiasm. I found out that I do have a good foundation built but oh so far to go. I'm addicted. I certainly look forward to more shows and interaction with all involved. Thanks particularly to the American Bladesmith organization for promoting such a great craft.
