Yep, what he said.
Just got word i have the OK for tomorrow off. C U guys at 10am. Br8nging soap samples and a shave den decoration for the give_away. Nothing special but i just dont have a place for it.
They don't open until 11:00 and asked that we start at 11:15
OK Vic. I got my times wrong. It would have sucked to be there that early. Sitting outside in the snow! Thanks for correcting me. 11:15 it is!
Gentlemen, it was a pleasure to visit with all of you today. Victor thank you so much for organizing. Joe your knife is fantastic, thank you!
Looking forward to seeing you next time.
Cheers!

Meets are always great fun, and its cool to put a face with a name.
I recognize Jerry (Gasman), but who are the rest of you.!?
If you don't mind....where's my buddy, Doug.!!
Thanks for posting Tom. I was just about to. Had a great time with all the fellas. And Damn it, I wanted that knife, lol. See ya all next time.
Yep, waitress took the pic. Cute young thing. Doug couldnt make it. Had to work at the last minute. Good to meet a few new guys. Had a good time and won a nice barber hone. We should do this more often.
Its cool that a guy ive never met (outback) recignised me in the pic. Thanks Mike. Hope i can do the same some day.
I still think i could do this at my house some day but we wouldnt have a cute waitress. Ha
I'm always thrilled, when I see younger gentlemen at the meets. It tells me our things, and knowledge, will be passed along to another generation.
A thank you, to our young men,for carrying the torch forward into the next generation. You are our knights, of the shave Den, and enforcer's of tranquillity and Zen time.
Carry on, Men.!
Looks like you guys had a great time.
I see Victor and Jerry, so I know you were in good hands.
I'd still like to put names with the other faces.
It's also fantastic to see a young guy with a razor in his hand and a hone in front of him on the table.
Someday I'd love to come to Denver!
Great job men.
Pete <:-}
neehooya, congrats on the knife, I am glad that you like it, and I hope you cook something delicious with it!
719logan, remind me for the next meet, and ill try to bring another one :}
Vance and I had a great time! was very cool to meet everyone and to see all the razors! Vic's microscope was a real eye opener, and ive got to see if I cant get my scope to show me more, and if I cant, then pick up a better one.
And that waitress........ she brought me one of those magic, never empty cups of coffee that gave me an insane caffine buzz that didn't end until a couple hours after we got home. will have to watch her like a hawk next time..... :}
oh, and Vance said he had a good time....... with a little luck maybe I can get him in front of the forge and have him make a couple razors :}
719 Logan put a J nat finish on one of my Shumate razors, very nice shave today.
Al
Gents,
Thank you again for a great meet.
Joe - that knife is spectacular. I need to drive up North to learn from you how you hone properly.
Jeff - thank you for J-nat edge, I shaved with it, it's baby smooth. I actually like a lot.
Cheers.
neehooya, sure, you and blues are welcome most anytime. just give me a couple days heads up if you can.
we can do some sharpening, some honing, some forging, grinding, ect.... to tide you over, you can take a look at my youtube thingy, just go to youtube and type in joe calton into the search, and you will find me pretty quick, I have at least a dozen sharpening videos on there. and very soon there will be a ton more........ since the texas meet, ive ordered what looks to be a pretty nice stereo scope 4-180 power that I can hook my Nikon up to, so should be able to really look at edges and take some nice pictures. and just downloaded some video editing software this morning so I can make better youtube vids to help folks out even more :}
I will ha e to check out your vids. Im not to the point id want to start forging but its fun to watch and learn how others do things. BTW, glad to meet ya at the gathering.
Gasman,
there is more than just forging on my channel. while I'm a knifemaker and tend to make mostly knifemaking videos, there is also sharpening, grinding, and then the offtopic videos that sort of relate to knives like building machines, metal casting, some on hunting and rifles, butchering and cooking, ect..... I think I'm up to around 120 videos or so
good to meet you at the gathering also, and I'm looking forward to the next one!
