I've been working in conjunction with Todd Fischer and Tom Watson over at the Customknifesandguns forum to get this set up. I originally planned to organize a Hammer-In for the Flori-Dogs social group and found out they were also planning a Hammer-In so I contacted Todd and we decided to join forces in planning this event.
