A Tribute to Wayne Goddard

Wayne has taught countless beginning knife makers, and improved the skills of many other makers over the years. He has authored Wayne Goddard’s $50 Knife Shop and The Wonder of Knifemaking as well as updated versions of both books. He has also written a Question and Answer feature for BLADE Magazine for years.

When:
Saturday November 1st 9:00am-till evening (Come early to avoid the crowd as it is a U of O game day)

Where:
David Thompson’s Shop 4440 Theona Dr. Eugene, Or 97402
Behind Jerry’s Home Improvement Center on Hwy 99N. Take the road on on the North side of Jerry’s parking lot west a couple of blocks to the gravel road and follow to Dave’s shop (follow the white egg signs)

Bring:
  • Your lunch. There will be some food provided, and some refreshments as well.
  • Your Forge, Anvil, and tools. A coal forge will be provided in Dave’s shop.
  • Bring your interest in knives and forging, bring a young one to see what it is all about, and how it is done. Try forging a blade yourself.
  • Bring Blacksmithing Tools and materials for knife making to trade or swap from your tailgate or trunk.
  • Bring any Wayne Goddard knives you have to show.
  • Bring knives you’ve made to show.

Weather:
Rain or Shine there’s room inside the shop if weather is bad.

Wayne will be there to visit with as well as a compilation of knives he has made over the years.

We will be forging and demonstrating knife making through the day.

If you have any questions, call Martin Brandt (541) 954-2168
 
This sounds like a good day. I wish I could go and see my ol buddies again for a day.
hey Wayne answered one of my newbie questions way back then and its in his The Wonder of Knifemaking book.
Wayne observed and passed me for the ABS Journeyman performance test in 1999.
I predict he will someday be inducted into the Cutlery Hall of Fame

I have visited with Wayne a couple times on the phone. Great guy and a giant in our custom knife community. I wish I could make it there.

Bruce, I'm pretty sure Wayne is already in Cutlery Hall of Fame but I could be wrong.

I'd say half the supplies I have in my shop came from Wayne by way of pile. He's a great man!
