Hi, my name is Seth and I'm 17. Currently, I'm mostly a woodworker but hope to learn more of the knife making process. Three of my brothers and I started working with wood a couple years ago to make money for our college education (my oldest brother is heading to college this fall for an engineering degree debt-free!). Since we started, we've made a variety of things starting with wood puzzles and miniature toys to knife scales and high-end pens. So far, we've not tried much with blade making though I've done some metal work with the pens. I'm interested in learning more about the process of making knife blades to see if it is something that I or one of my brothers is interested in doing. Another thing that I like to do to earn money for my college fund is to either find materials (usually wood and burl) in the desert or to find good deals on it and resell it to woodworkers and knife makers. I'll probably be posting a few things in the For Sale forum soon.

I've seen a lot of great work on this site and hope to learn a lot.
