I had a special guest over the weekend and just want to share. Ray Hammond had me down for a hunt a while back and I've been looking for a way to return the hospitality. So he was able to come up and work a couple of days with me in the shop. Here he is putting the finishing touch on a hunter that turned out very well.

Ray got in on a project I'm working on. I've begun building a shop and Ray graciously volunteered to help while he was here. Here are a couple of monkeys on top while Ray and I cut and handed material.
 

I snapped this today of the progress. It's now ready for the steel roof.

 

Ray did find time to make a new friend. Her name is Daisy.

That picture of Ray and Daisy is too much!
I'm sure you guys had a blast and that knife is killer!

Hey Karl

You will just drool over Lin's shop

The plans are tremendous.  It's going to be a real sweet set up

Lin and his family are very gracious hosts and I learned a ton and confirmed what I already knew- I've got a LOT to learn!

Thanks Lin

Fantastic!

Ray, I was in Woodstock, GA in 2009 I wish I would have known you were there.  I'd love to have met you and seen your work firsthand!  Beautiful knife!

Well, I love framing and wish I could have been there.
The learning never stops, Ray.
Maybe we can talk Lin into having a Trad Gang hammer-in some day.

It was a true pleasure to meet you Ray. I enjoyed the pictures you shared. Hope to see you at Blade next year.
That sheep horn hunter looks outstanding!

Ray is not the only TG'er who has helped me on my shop. That's Chris in the picture up on the roof cutting the lathe. Thanks Chris.

Back at u buddy!

I think you need to show that blade on here! When Lin told me you've been making knives for only one year I was awestruck! You've got skills Sir!

Lin it was a sincere pleasure Sir

Now you and Wyatt have to do another hunt!!!!
