Craft fair at the rec center at the RV park we’re staying in for the winter, in Arizona City, AZ. Not my usual level of inventory for a show, lol. Hope to get some new blades finished after the holidays. Merry Christmas to all.

Greetings All,
The house sale and related events took longer than expected, but 2 months & 4,100 miles later, we are set up in Peyto, CO for a couple weeks before we head to Arizona for the winter. As you can see, some assembly required for the portable shop. Kept the essentials: small forge, anvil, hardy tools & tongs, & 2x72 Bader, so have everything I need. I have about a dozen hardened & tempered blades that just need finishing & handles. Hopefully I’ll start getting to those soon & you’ll see some new finished work on the site. Best Regards, Bill.

Greetings All, just wanted to let you know that I will be closing the shop for the next month or so. After an ”interesting“ eight months, the restoration of my 1990 Kenworth W900, RV Hauler is nearly done. Just some minor electrical work & paint to go. I now have to focus on getting the house ready for sale. I’m selling most of the large shop machines (power hammer is still available: see my adds on marketplace & CL). I will have a condensed shop in the toy hauler compartment of the RV & will continue making knives as we travel the remaining free states in the Western U.S.. All goes well, we will be rolling down the Alcan by early September. A big thanks to everyone who has supported my work.
