Hi Jared,

Met you at Trackrock too. That is a good bunch many of which hang out around here too. Check my post about the Georgia Guild meeting in February. We would be glad to have to come down. As far as being a lunatic, well, you already admitted to being a knifemaker, going to Trackrock, getting a forge, and wearing a British hat. If you are trying to convince us that you are a lunatic, except for maybe the hat, you are heading in the wrong direction. You sound kind of normal to me. Hope you can make Trackrock this spring.

Jared, wish you could make it. We'll post some pictures for you. You can learn a lot by lurking, but when you have a question never hesitate to ask. You can wait a long time if you wait for someone else to ask it for you. Maybe we will see you at trackrock. Spring meeting of the Guild should be in north Ga somewhere.

Hey Jared
Glad the hook set solid.
Charlie's just trying to scare you with that "normal" stuff. What's normal anyhow? Glad you've decided to stepout. THis is a great place to get serious (and not so serious) information about knifemaking. Just have to learn who and what to trust, but for the most part good stuff.
Maybe someone will chime in and offer you a ride to the guild meeting, if they are going for the day. Most of us old poots go down on Friday and spend the night. Maybe you can get something worked out.
The Trackrock notice is posted on another thread (just in case) see you there for sure.
Make sure you bring some of your work with you, love to see it.

No, Actually a small community west of Murphy on Hanging Dog Creek, going out toward Grandview.
Isn't Culowhee near Franklin?

Jared, my young friend, good to see you here and not spending ALL of your time on British Blades. As we have discussed before, you are welcome to my shop anytime that you and your dad can make it. If you cannot make it before the hammer in, I will see you then and kidnap you to the shop.

Members of the Georgia Custom Knifemakers Guild------Jared is only 15 years old, going on 40, and will be a welcome addition to the Guild at some future date-----Sandy

Carl, yeah cullowhee is near franklin, i asked because me and my dad go up there most nice weekends to offroad on some mountains. and i saw a road called Hanging Dog, and a firestation that said hanging Dog on it.

Sandy, i've actually been meaning to pm you to try and fix a date, and I hang around the Dfogg bladesmith forum a bit too.

Hmm.....that's a curious thing. Maybe you guys cover more off road ground than you realize. The Tellico ORV area is just off the end of Hanging Dog (out past the HD Volunteer Fire Station) and Davis roads, west of Murphy on the border with Tenn. Most folks access through Tellico Plains to Green Cove on the Tellico River headwaters, but you can also access from the end of Davis (also a sneak-in FS route off Joe Brown Hwy. the local bear hunters use).
Is it possible you're getting the two areas tangled? That off-roading can really shake you up!
I do a bit of ruby/sapphire prospecting over in the Cullowhee Valley area from time to time. They are a pretty good stretch apart distance wise. At least three mountain ranges apart - Chunky Gal, Upper Tusk, and Snowbird.
