Thread: NY/NJ Area Meet; Holiday-ish Time of the Year?

I was hoping no one took my picture after last time. I didn't take my camera out of my bag. John

I said to Heirkb when we were on our way home that we should have taken a picture.

Big Thanks to Jeff for hosting.

Thanks to Ed and Dylan for the honing.

And thanks to everyone else for coming out.

Some take home notes:
The microscope was this model but please browse around, he has so many other configurations, as well as the same model listed at different prices.

Also I was asked about camelia oil a few times, which protects the blade from oxidation for the lazy or OCD among us. I use this kind, best price on ebay, shop around though. Prices vary widely, and any pure camelia oil or "choji" will do.

I had a great time and enjoyed what everyone had to offer: ideas, tools, humor, coffee, donuts, molasses cookies, etc. Many thanks to our host, Jeff, and PBA. Perhaps we could make this a quasi regular thing? Next time let's pool some money and order pizza!

Finally, I seem to have come home with someone's Barber Hone? Was that yours Rob?

Yes. Thanks. I'll get it from you next time.

Ehsan carelessly left it cast off to the side. I think he should sell me his Filly for $1 in lieu of reparations.

I just got home from this amazing event.
This was my first event of this kind so I want to
thank everyone who was in attendance for making me feel so welcome.
Shout outs to Jeff and Dylan for organizing and hosting this event.
A note of special gratitude to Ed for his unflinching generosity with his honing kit and his willingness to share his vast knowledge.
He has unbelievable patience.
Kudos to a quality group.
Hope to see you again.

Unfortunately I have no way of getting out of work during the week.

I really hope the next get together is on a weekend...and some time soon!

Thanks to everyone for showing up. Had a great time seeing old/new friends.

We'll do it again soon. Just let me know.

One other thing:

Thanks to all the knowledgeable guys who help all us Not so Knowledgeable guys. Your time and patience is greatly appreciated.
