Hello from Oklahoma

Hello all, I just wanted to introduce myself...my name is Jeff and I am from Yukon, Oklahoma. I've been making knives for about six months now. I started out by just buying a few pre-made blades online and making handles out of various materials (G-10,Micarta, etc) after a month or so, I sorta felt like I was "cheating" so I started researching, reading, asking questions and soon after began drawing out my own designs (influenced, of course), cutting out of 01 bar stock, shaping, beveling and heat treating my own blades. I am still using a filing jig, but working on building a 2 X 72 grinder. I have also made my own heat treating forge with instruction from Gough Customs. I have always worked with my hands, but there is such a satisfaction that comes with making my own blade from start to finish! I am not above learning and asking questions, so I hope to gain knowledge and hone my skills with help from you guys/girls.
