Summer Guild Meeting
After a good bit of date juggling and such, we have arrived with a place and date for the summer Guild meeting.
It will be hosted by Scott Davidson at his Solid Rock Knife Shop in Alto, GA on August 16th. Most of you know the way, those that don't may contact Scott via PM for directions. There will be several items of important business that you won't want to miss out on. We are setting up some interesting demos that can be done inside Scott's airconditioned shop. Please be curteous and let Scott know you are coming so he can plan lunch (always good). Hosting a meeting is quite a bit of unseen work (not to mention the dreaded shop cleaning). Our website is having ongoing difficulties so don't look for a posting there unless things change. If you have any other questions about the meeting, you may contact either Scott or me via PM here and we will get back to you. For you Lurkers and Non-guild members -  We are an open group and would love to have you visit one of our meetings and see what we are about and how we can benefit you and you can benefit others.

Stephan, tough break. I know you ABB guys will have a good time anyway. Just not enough days in the year for the good stuff. Way too many for the bad!
I have always enjoyed your ABB gatherings I've been fortunate to attend. Great group of folks (even if they don't all make knives). __________________ Carl Rechsteiner, Bladesmith Georgia Custom Knifemakers Guild, Charter Member Knifemakers Guild, voting member Registered Master Artist - GA Council for the Arts C Rex Custom Knives Blade Show Table 6-H

Just bringing things current.
Have heard from a few of you on attending the meeting at Scott's shop. I hope the rest of you guys are letting him know you are coming so he can plan. Lot of work to host these meetings so please be considerate. The "Alto Shank Gang" will be meeting on Friday afternoon to talk forges and play with fire for you die-hard runamuck Hammerheads. I believe brother Wayne Hensley is going to give us some instruction on "Folder Technology" and we will have some interactive discussion on "Forges - Safety, Do's, Don'ts, Fine-tuning, and Trouble shooting" as well as the usual program. Please bring some of your latest work to show and any projects you might be working on. Remember to bring something for the ITH. See everyone there. __________________ Carl Rechsteiner, Bladesmith Georgia Custom Knifemakers Guild, Charter Member Knifemakers Guild, voting member Registered Master Artist - GA Council for the Arts C Rex Custom Knives Blade Show Table 6-H

If The doc gives me driving privileges, I'll be there with Avery. Shoulder surgery could not be put off any longer. Dr. Phillips said he'd let me know when I can drive AFTER 3 weeks of PT. Seems I let this go a little to long.

Mrs. Joan, don't take any risk. We all want you to heal up well. Sure be nice when Avery gets old enough to drive Miss Daisy! Besides, if you let the shoulder heal up right I got a nice forging hammer you can use for therapy at Trackrock!
You're always welcome Scott. Now we just got to fire that puppy up for some real testing. __________________ Carl Rechsteiner, Bladesmith Georgia Custom Knifemakers Guild, Charter Member Knifemakers Guild, voting member Registered Master Artist - GA Council for the Arts C Rex Custom Knives Blade Show Table 6-H

I hope that everybody is letting Scott know if they are going to be at the meeting. We will be auctioning off a knife by Cary Quinn for the John Poythress Scholar Ship at this meeting. I will try to post a picture in the next day or so. It is a great little cutter and someone is going to be very happy at the end of the day. Don't forget to bring something for the "iron in the hat". It is how we pay for the lunch. There are a couple of good demonstrations being put on by Carl and Wayne that you don't want to miss. Hope to see everyone there.

The directions are now available. Just send a blank email to meetings {at} georgiaknifemakersguild {dot} com and the autoresponder will send you back the directions. Just format that address like a normal email address. Just trying to keep the spambots from picking that address up.
BTW Scott, I'll be there too. __________________ Jamey Saunders -- Charter Member, GCKG (Got a question? Have you tried to for the answer?)
