It occurred to me that I've been on the forum for a year or so but haven't gotten around to doing an intro yet, so here it goes...
For those I haven't met yet, my name is Ian and I got into knife making through Corin (Niroc) who just happens to be my cousin. I've been to a couple of hammer-ins at his place and one down at Keith's where I've met quite a few of you already. I've finished 3 knives to date and am currently working on 4 and 5. I definitely have a long way to go, but I'm happy with what I've put together so far and the progress I'm making.
I'm a carpenter by trade, but currently work in retail (in one of those giant green boxes with the red hammers on the side).
I am very fortunate in that I seem to be the only forum member whose significant other doesn't just tolerate the knife making hobby, but actually joins in and gets as involved as I do!
Looking forward to seeing what the forums continue to offer up in the future - the advice and inspiration so far has been invaluable!
