Gday my name is Shaun but you can call me Gibbo if you wish,I've been forging for about two years now I started out with a coal forge I made but for the last 6 months I've been playin with the gas forge,I don't get much time to play though.ive forged probably 25 knives most of which I've sold or done for gifts I have done a machete,and a tomahawk out of a railway spike.im always bettering my work and trying new things to test myself,I live in hassall grove in western Sydney if anyone else is close we'll have to meet up and bash out some knives.
Cheers gibbo

Hi Gibbo,

Great to see another knifemaker in Sydney coming in out of the dark. Post some pictures of your work! There are quite a few of us in Sydney that meet pretty regularly. Normally either at my place or alternately at Keith Fludder's workshop down in Tahmoor. http://www.australianbladeforums.com/vb4/showthread.php?8346-Hammer-in-august-24-amp-25-southern-highlands-forge&highlight=southern+highlands

It would be great to meet you. We had 30 odd people at the last one. Keith's next one is promising to be even bigger.

They are a great opportunity to discuss our hobby, and try different things, materials, tools and so on.

The last one can be seen here http://www.australianbladeforums.com/vb4/showthread.php?6813-Hammer-In-in-Niroc-s-Shed.-April-2013&p=59691&viewfull=1#post59691
