Something to think about...

"Implements that take their shape directly from their working contact with the substance they are made to deal with often express their purpose in simple and beautiful terms. In the strong hands of a blacksmith, iron is given a vitality that often transcends its use." C. Williams

tai goo video project

I have not done much in the past months in large part because of a video I have been working on for Tai. We filmed this first video on the basics of forging for the bladesmith. I am just putting the finishing touches on it now. I didn't realize how much work it is to edit and put something like this together. I would say I've put in at least 50 hours at the computer just editing. I took it up to Tai's place today and Jeff, Tai, and I watched it together. Tai seemed pretty pleased with it. I'm not sure how soon Tai will be getting around to actually putting it on the market, but it will be well worth buying. I have never seen anyone who can wield a hammer like he does.

Well I suppose that's a half way reasonable excuse for your shocking lack of posts recently ;-)

Very much looking forward to seeing it

I am sure that it will be a very good video. Tai Good makes amazing knives! Make sure you remember to post a link to it when he puts it on the market!
