Bump this back up. I know it seems like a long time off, but July will be here before we know it.
If you are a new maker, please dont be afraid to get involved.
He Sean,
Thanks for hosting this year.
I am going to kick it up a bit this year, I have started to make stainless damascus, and my entry this year will be made of my own stainless damascus. I put a damascus knife in every year, this one will be special. I don't know the design yet, but it will be cool.
Count me in.
I vote YES. Man, jump in and get started now! You have plenty time to make mistakes, fix 'em, ask questions, and so on. We're all here to learn and pass on whatever we know.
No one was born knowing this stuff, someone had to teach them. No one ever made a perfect knife their first time, in fact I never made a perfect knife at all and probably never will. But I keep getting a little better every time. I'm pretty sure that's the whole idea
