G'day. Have joined just a couple of days ago after chancing on the site while looking for something else. Don't ask me what it was, when I found out that there was a forum for Australian Knife makers/users I got stuck here and forgot whatever it was that I was doing. I am near Rockhampton, Queensland. I have completed 2 x knives, both are rubbish. The first one was so bad that I now use it to cut lead and tin into pieces small enough to go into my melting pot (needs a little help from a 2kg club hammer to get through the bigger ingots).
I was halfway through knife number three (a cooks knife for the missus) when I moved to Dysart, where I had no shed, and had to give up making anything for three years. I have left Dysart, and where I am living now have a shed so I will be getting back into it soon.
I want to say a thank you to those who set this forum up. All the Yank forums might be OK to get some how-to from, but when it comes to getting materials, they are next to useless. I also want to say a thank you to those who are posting, both their finished knives and their how-to information. It gives me something to aim for and how to get there.
This place is great.
