new startup Midwest Knifemakers Guild

[BossDog]

We are having our first meeting of the Midwest Knifemakers Guild here Saturday 9:30 to 2:30.


There will be 4 demo's and we will also try to figure out how we want to move forward with the new guild.
Mostly it's about getting together occasionally and sharing technique.

Stop in if you can make it.

We seem to have dodgy luck on weather but I’ll see what I can do.

We had a good day. 20 guys showed up.

Jeb Taylor doing a handle grind demo.



A few guys brought some show and tell.



Brian talks about sword making and his FIF experience.


Jason Krause demos making a San mai billet which was raffled off.



I did a short piece on canister Damascus.
Paul did a demo on acid etching which was cool and I missed a pic of that.

Group photo.


An enjoyable day.

Great time and great company. Wish I were closer!!

Looks like a great turnout

Wish I could have made it but today is my wedding anniversary and we had a bit of a party planned

Maybe next year (if there's one next year)

Man I wish you were closer. I would love to attend something like this! NW Florida is not right around the corner though!

That's just my bad luck. Looks like it would of been a great time. I did not check the weather again until later the next morning. Sounds like it missed you. I'll be looking forward to the next one. Make it 85° and sunny please!
