Looks like an awesome time for all. Charlie thanks for keeping us updated. I may have to plan a road trip down myself next year.
I have enjoyed all the pics guys!!

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!
