Hey IG -- I get into NH a couple a day or two before. Please let me know if this is go and I'll see if I can run away from my family already. -- Phil

Great, well done, fantastic, out of this world! Anyone got a link to the thread(s)? I found the threads... BladeForums BEST BOWIE 2010 [finalists and winner] http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=804770 BladeForums BEST BOWIE - 2010 Edition [nominations]...

Well you sure have enthusiasm for the sport. Good luck with your forge. Do you forge any of your throwers?

You guys are too much for TV! :taz:

Thank for the update, errr, I mean report. Have all the players come to an understanding/strategy as to how to do this kind of stuff in the future without repeating the snafu? ...'cause we sure miss our Knife Dogs!!!! :s8936:

I want to see that same photo get taken again, in the same chair, in a year or so. Should be a hoot! :s12137:

Dang, I'm jealous! Looks like lots of fun indeed. Sorry to hear about your better half. Maybe the downtime was good though? So how did you do with your wood? We are, of course, waiting for those after show blow out specials! :tt2: :paypal::tt2:

From what I've seen, that tip about the ergonomic qualities of the handle is imperative. Fussing for one's grip while wailing and swinging away can't be good, and is more common than you might think. A lot of the challenges are like sprinting. You've got to go full bore until the job is done...

Wow, THANKS Smitty. That was great! Are all the welt layers full all the way down the blade? I pictured one or two were full and the additonal layers would be mostly at the top around the handle and taper out as they went down.

Hi Guys -- I wonder if it would be possible to change my name to Phil Dwyer? -- Thanks, Phil

Thanks Smitty! That was a good explanation of your process. If understand you right, you.... cut four basic pieces of leather: the front and back of "each" sheath for the two knives (Or was it just three pieces as you might have used the front of the big sheath also for the back of the small...

Looking good! It must have taken a bit of figuring out how to get that double sheath to fit tight enough to hold the knives well, but loose enough to enable them to get in and out well. I'd sure love to hear more about your design and construction process on it if you'd be willing. Thanks, Phil

Need more constructive solution input please... Hi Friends, While I appreciate all the posts on making thermite (and how "cool" it is) I'm more interested in the ones on how NOT too. More posts about shop layout, grinding and cutting procedures, dust filtration and spark arrestor setups...

Phew...you never know what's going to make a dent in your time next. Maybe this Firefox link re dysfunctional automatic log-ins can help some of you folks, http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Username+and+password+not+remembered?s=remember+password&as=s? Looks and bells and whistles don't...

It's true there were many photo ops,, but I don't believe it occurred to a single one of us to snap photos. Sorry. From my perspective the main visuals of note were the many living tattoo billboard walking about the place. There was enough colored ink on flesh to paint the town I believe. Quite...
