Thread: 6th Annual North Central Texas Razor Meet at Charlie Lewis Straight Razor Workshop

The way things are going I would say bring it, if it is not too much trouble.

Victor and Scott somehow make room for every thing.

Better to have too much than to be left wanting for tools.

I have yet to repair my forge gas line on my big forge, but hope to get to it and bring it to the meet as well.

I have three working forges now, not including the my heat treat forge. I think someone local is also bringing a forge and anvil.

Ok, i will skip bringing my forge. Who knows what else i will bring!

Is the other guy from last year coming as well this year? I forgot his name.

I have found that these meets are not a pre planned lesson plan and they rely on the learner to bring up questions and what they want.

I would like someone to bring a piece of bone and demo what they do to carve and or scrimshaw.....

My plan is to pick up a hammer on day one and start forging something. From there we'll just have to see how it evolves, depending on who asks what.

Being that I have never forged or hammered anything, my ultimate goal is to have a blade that I can shave with that I made myself (with a lot of help and coaching of course).

The other, which is more important to me, is to make more lifelong friends.

I'm just looking forward to binge watching 'Bob Ross'.

I think Andy will be there, I am not sure for how many days.

Careful now, that is sacred ground to me.

I think you aree talking about Andy Lewis, knew his way around an anvil. Good guy...

Yes, Andy. Great guy. His wife is a very wise woman.

In any case, this one is the first one coming with me to Texas.
