Hi fellow trads Im kinda new here but man I really like this site! I have found a place full of friendly folks and a wealth of knowledge here! I really enjoy seeing all the fine craftsmanship that you guy's display with bows & knife's and the way you help each other out. After I saw all the great handmade knife's in this forum I couldnt stand it any longer and had to give it try with an old sawmill blade,so here's my first two attempts; go easy on me im still learning.    http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm22/oldpaths/ (http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm22/oldpaths/picture082.jpg)    http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm22/oldpaths/ (http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm22/oldpaths/picture072.jpg)    web pagehttp://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm22/oldpaths/ (http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm22/oldpaths/picture073.jpg)    http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm22/oldpaths/ (http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm22/oldpaths/picture077.jpg)    http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm22/oldpaths/ (http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm22/oldpaths/picture074.jpg)    http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm22/oldpaths/ (http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm22/oldpaths/picture075.jpg)    http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm22/oldpaths/ (http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm22/oldpaths/picture079.jpg)    http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm22/oldpaths/ (http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm22/oldpaths/picture081.jpg)    http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm22/oldpaths/ (http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm22/oldpaths/picture078.jpg)    http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm22/oldpaths/ (http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm22/oldpaths/picture079.jpg)
