Hi,
I don't know what the deal is. Anytine I try to access ANY geocities page both Mr. Hale and several others, the web site appears, then about 2 seconds later I get slammed into a "privacy update" screen that wants to download something on to my machine. Fat chance I will allow that. I have been unable to use geocities sites for about a month now.
Thanks, Ken
PS: I know it is not the makers fault, just internet assh*&#s.

Ken,
Go to these sites and get Adaware 6.0, and Spybot Search and Destroy. They are free downloads, WITHOUT SPYWARE. Run Adaware first. I think you will be surprised at the amount of spyware on your system. delete the stuff, and your computer will run a lot better.
I find that they compliment each other, each getting what the other doesn't.
It should take care of the geocities problem also.

I tell you what guys, This geocities was a bad idea on my part... Anyone know a good person to set me up a web site and maintain it?? That will be better for all of us...lloydhale@surfmore.net...

Lloyd,

Maybe you should contact Alex at Atlanta Virtual (They host this site) He should be able to hook you up.

[Bob Sigmon]

Stave,

I totally agree! A showcase for some of Lloyd's work will be fantastic. A true inspiration for all of us!

Thanks a million, Tod. Those pool balls look colorful and fun. Doll up the shop a bit, huh?

Thanks again, all great ideas, all a bit different. If one wanted to make his own vise, between these and Lloyd's pictures, he ought to be able to handle it.

I communicated with Alex Whetsell at Atlanta Virtual and We are going to set up an informative web site on my latest knives , how I do them, things I've learned over 30 + years of grinding steel into pointy shiny things that seem to turn collectors on....Now how lucky can a man be to have a profession like that...As soon as we have it set up We'll let you know.....Lloyd

[Bob Sigmon]

Lloyd,

That is outstanding news. You will have a heavily visited site.

We will be waiting for the site roll out. I know that Alex will do a great job for you.

I'm surprised no one else has chimed in yet. Thanks for the pics. Do you have another set of inserts for holding the handle while working with the blade?

Oh by the way, thanks for the knife pics. They are a constant source of inspiration. Every time I start feeling like I'm getting good I see one of you knives and it keeps me from getting the "thats good enough" syndrome.

[Lloyd Hale]

Hello Steve.......No , I will usually finish the blade completely before I attach the collar, guard and handle .... Most of my knives will dismantle if you know the combination ..so I've never had the need for two sets of jaws... You could make that vice with a larger throat if you wanted... Thanks for your kind words ,I've loved creating knives and I guess it shows....

Lloyd,
Thanks for answering my questions on the vice...I appreciate you taking the time to help me.....
