Well Randy I have a copy of your book and have rented your videos. (Renting videos, for those on a limited budget I think is a good idea, as well as people making use of resources such as the NWBA library.) Getting and reading, even if just for ideas books and videos is a good way to pick up further information. Classes are even better, but people can't always afford much.

Scott, thank you much for the compliment. I'm not in the same class as Larry (who I believe I may be looking to get in one one of his classes soon) and others on here .......... yet, ( ok I'm a little ambitious there). [Image Can Not Be Found]

My initial post is meant to apply to me, as it is how I feel I should go about doing things, as it works for me. What works for me may not be what works for others. An example of which is at Fort Vancouver yesterday when people came in one of the other blacksmiths observed to them that how I went about doing things was to make the tools needed for new projects as I went along, eventually I'll have most of the tools used by me made by me. I do look for things and adapt what I can find, but I prefer myself making the stuff needed. (hope all this made sense, lol.)
