<p>First of all Michael, welcome to iKC. You will find many friends here.</p>
<p>Your work is beautiful and obviously advanced. It is apparent you have been adding to your expertise for a long time. I believe you will have a good experience here as a member of the iKC "Family". As you know, commissions can come from many directions and I expect you will find a few as you join us and share with us pictures of your work. As everyone here will tell you, "We love pictures!"</p>
<p>Again,…</p>

<p>Great work Mike!! I've been into Scrim' for a little over a year now. Still experimenting, my work is basic, but I love it! I'm really looking forward to seeing more of your work. I've also recently returned to work after a long layoff so I may get info from you on acquiring some of it. Keep sending those pics!!</p>

<p>I love your work. A lot of people do knives and make money. Help will be coming your way, just wait a little bit.</p>
