Thanks for organizing it and thanks to the OP for posting the idea. Nice bunch of folks there and a great opportunity to try something new.

Damn I just walked over a railroad spike while walking the dog yesterday. I regret not grabbing it.

They provide them.

They are cheap on Amazon.

Look at the 3rd one down. It says the are "blue tint, carbon steel". I wonder if they are really different and would be better steel for a knife.

10/9 Class

I went today, was really fun! I opt'd for a 550-cord handle wrap instead of the spike head twist.

Anyone else interested in the 10/30 class? Looks like 1 more is needed to make it a go.

Took the class today with Noxin and Gator. It was a good time.

Here's what we left with

The two facing the opposite direction are mine.

Hmmm I might have to sign up for one of these now that my schedule is a bit more settled than it usually is

 

[loki32687]

It was a good time. I'd recommend it. Just be sure to ask questions, otherwise you may be left to yourself on what to do.

It's still on my to do list. Very much want to try this out, just life seems to keep offering me more urgent tasks to take care of :/

Just as an FYI

The guy who owns the shop is an extreme lefty, Hillary loving liberal voter. He has been caught recently bashing businesses who's political views he didn't agree with. Leaving bad Facebook reviews for places he never did business with. He doesn't fit the type of business NES is generally wanting to do business with.

Sounds like just the guy to teach a fledgling FFL how to make edged weapons to complement guns...

I went, had a good time with several gun guys. Not bad with the teaching the class. But could definitely see the artsy fartsy part of the whole system.

well yeah, metal workering artists ... are surrounded by liberals. ITs like: can you find art that you love that is only made by the 20% that are conservative artists??? No. My philosphy is, so long as the art is NOT blatently anti gun or anti conservative....i will support it. The table is rigged, but it is the only table in town.
