Howdy!
Glad you stopped in!
I learned this morning (6-17-2008) that some SPAM-MAIL bot is using my email to bulk send a bunch of crap.
If you've recieved email from me and you've never heard of me, well, I've never heard of you either. SEnding me
emails with nasty messages and threats is pointless. I have removed all hotlinks to my email off my site.
I'm STILL slowly working through my site gleaning out the crap and broken links/pics.
I hate computer work...I'd much rather be hammering.
There are still several broken links, most of which still due
to pages I just haven't created yet! Lots of pics are still missing as well. These should slowly get taken
care of as I make my way through the site cleaning house. Ahh well....
The buttons will take you to the various pages I have up. As usual...I'll be continually
updating the site. Check the "What's new"
box here for updates on new cool stuff!.
Right now I'm having too much fun making knives to do much armouring. I still do one Viking/Saxon helm every other month or so, though.
The next big armour project will be updating all my personal gear with high carbon steel 15th century armour.
Thanks

What's New!
Wow...it's been a year since I last updated this page. For those that don't know, we moved to Katy, TX
last August. We still haven't sold the old place yet, and I still haven't
finished moving all my equipment down. I have none of my
armour making stuff set up, so I'm obviously not doing any of that right now.
I have been doing lots of knifemaking. I have about two dozen finished
blades that will hopefully get finished out into knives by Mid July. These range from
tantos and trade knives to modern military styled and migration era pattern welded seaxes.
If there's something particular you're wanting, shoot me an email.
I'm now a board of directors member for the texas Knifemaker and Collector Association.
I'm looking forward to some of the upcoming projects with them! One project is the charity knife project I started a while back.
Looks like I'll finally get the project going strong with a completion date of early Fall or so.
I have an assortment of battlefield scrap from both Iraq and Afghanistan that will be doled out to various knifemakers. This material will be
used to make knives, which will then be auctioned off with all proceeds going to a TX based charity organization that helps the families of
fallen soldiers. I've been working on this for a couple years now and am really excited to see it coming through now!
I started hosting knifemaker weekends for the Texas regional knifemakers again this Spring.
Of course, I will be traveling with my work alot as well, though. These are
more of a social gathering with a bit of forging, grinding and technical talk thrown in for good
measure. If you're a knifemaker, or interested in knifemaking and would like to come
up for one, send me an email and I'll add you to the information list for schedules of events
and such. Right now, the next one is planned for sometime in August since I'll be back in Africa late July.
Moving to a subdivision put a severe damper on the cannon building also. This will now be limited to
making a bit of noise twice per year. Hopefully, the old place will sell this summer
and we can begin looking for another "permamnnt" home instead of renting here in the suburbs!
