Yes

6- 10 years
Favorite Kind of Knives
I like old scout knives and other traditional folding knives. I also like knives from the early American era and on to old west types.
About Me
I have been married 34 years, and have 6 kids and 2 grandchildren. Two of our kids live at home still. I am a certified Occupational Therapy Assistant having graduated with a degree in that field in 2008 after the paper mill I was working at closed down. Before that I had worked in printing and paper since high school. It's a much different career, but helping people to get well after an injury, or stroke etc is very rewarding.
Interests
I am interested in knifemaking, and have read a lot about about it and blacksmithing, but have limited actual experience. I have an anvil and made one of Wayne Goddards' "one brick "forges to mangle a little bit of steel and look forward to more!
Other Hobbies
I like to be outside, and do things with my family, fishing, and still plan to learn the saxophone. I like motorcycles, cars, and tractors, and old stuff that can be fixed up.
