Why charge for practicing " The Golden Rule " ???
If that's the case, all these neat people can " charge " whatever they want for giving out helpful advice - it's known as consulting !! :cool: :cool:
I've had some great conversations with Chuck, Paul, Jon, Josh over the phone, without ever meeting them..in person..
Gee, I's sure glad they didn't charge me for their time and help..
I've also had e-mails from Ray and Mike; and these take time and effort..
I know for a fact many of these knivemakers give materials and labor and time free just to help another get started..
I don't believe in charging money for " passing it on " ....
I've come to believe that what ever I give away comes back tenfold anyways...
That's a feeling that money can't buy - doing the right things for the right reasons..
Enough of sermonette from me..
Be well
