Making Damascus at Jim C's

Several of us were at Jim Clow's a couple of weekends back working hard at making damascus. ....Well, most of us were working hard. Those who were doggin' it paid the price. Nice nap, Ed?

This is the start of some really interesting canned damascus...

Great pictures Jim, thanks. Jim C., that's maybe the shaggiest forge ever.


See you folks around, Craig

Thanks Jim! We did have a fantastic time at Jim and Bev's. They are wonderful folks and amazing hosts. I think I must have packed on an extra five pounds !

Don't pay attention to Ed's comment. That guy just lazed around the whole time and just barked out commands for us peons Seriously, Ed's expertise was, and always is, a valuable resource.

It is always a great time when we rub elbows with our friends from the north country.

Dana
