Ok, I am home and a bit rested from the trip. I wish to thank my friends Randy and Charlie for putting up with me, I am very grateful to both of them, I owe them a lot. Scott I wished we had more time to sit and chew some fat, I love your work and hope to see more, I am very interested to see how the cob scales hold up.
Charlie, thank you and God bless. BTW would you please tell mom that I am out of brownies and in desperate need of more, when I can I will send her some good Missouri pecans.
Hey guys, I finally arrived home about 1 hour ago.
Charlie, once again, thanks a whole bunch. This was my second visit to your shop and just like the first time I learned a bunch and had the pleasure of the company of some really good guys. Scott, it was really good to have you there. Next time I want to spend lots more time with you and pic your brain on hollow grinding. You do that task very well! :)
Kelly, it was really good to have you ride with me to Texas and back. I hope to do it again.
You really picked up hollow grinding really fast and I think you found this forging and grinding to be a fun & rewarding hobby. I hope you continue with it.
To all you guys who could not make it.....I hope to see you next year. :)

Randy I'm glad you made it home!!!
I wanted to call and check on you but didn't want you distracted on the ice.
Thanks for all the photos--it makes my not being there a little easier. Hopefully I can get fired before next year and be able to go too.
Wow! Looks like a great time! Glad you made it back home Randy! I would love to hang out in Charlie's shop!
I have watched all of his YouTube videos multiple times and to actually be there, especially to chat with you again Randy, all the better!
Maybe next time!
Here are a few pics of the 2 razors I started at Charlies....
