    My leather apron is about 4 years old and is getting a bit gnarly. My wife wanted to know if she could wash it. The answer was no.

    Gentlemen, due to changing work circumstances (the old you haven't been here long enough for vacation yet) and insensitivity to negotiating a planned break right after beginning work, I will not be able to attend this year. I had hopes of a different outcome until this morning. They are desperate for my services and a week will somehow bring their world to an end. It's probably bureaucratic functionaries.

    On the other hand, I am moving back toward more rural environs and that's a bonus.

    What is worse is that you all will engage in the fine tradition of talking bad about me cause I'm not there. Ah well, I knew what I was getting into. Hit the steel while it's hot, don't just talk about it. I'll miss you guys a little and I'm sorry Charlie and those of you I won't get to meet I haven't met before.

    Your ears are going to burn Mike, I will see to it! I hate it that you can't come, but we all understand that there are circumstances that are beyond our control. Get back rural & to manipulating steel...

    Bummer ! I was hoping you could attend. Tell you what, when you get settled in and have your shop running again lets put together a workshop at your place sometime next year ?
    P.S. I will get the sanding belts out the end of this week. Promise!

    LOL on the belts. No worries.

    The shop is located in a pretty cool blacksmiths-art metal colony in south Seattle. That is a favorable idea Randy.

    Giving some thought to attending It would be a hell of a drive. So a serious question How many people in attendance before the limited equipment becomes a waiting line?

    While I would love to meet all you guys, and have a chance to learn from so many skilled craftsman in a single location, it would be a bummer if I left feeling like I didnt get to do as much because of an over crowding situation
