Bama Twisters and The Twister Twelve
« on: June 14, 2011, 09:59:00 PM »
Hey all I just wanted to start by saying what a great time I had at this years Auction!  Between Poundcake (yeah MK, LLC!),TGMM, Turkey Calls, and of course the Bama Twisters it was my most exciting St. Jude's Auction to date!  My most sincere thanks go out to the Twisters for all the hard work they are putting in with the making of the knives and sheaths, and also to the rest of the gang that bid on these fine works of art that the Twisters created.  It was truly a pleasure to participate in this with you all.

On a final note I know all are busy (bear hunting, working, etc...) but are there any updates on knives in the works...I just miss seeing pictures of the great forging and finished products that were being put up in the auction post.  I am certainly not trying to pressure ANYONE, but if there are any pics floating around of the progress being made I'd love to see some!  If not, that is okay too.

Thanks again to all involved.

Yep that was fun.  Looking forward to seeing what comes out of the meeting of the well forged minds.

Hey Guys, i am deployed again but i keep my eyes on the gang.  I am going through with drawls after the auction.   Seems i am always hitting refresh.  

I am over joyed at the response we received on the Bama Twister and the overall outcome of the auction.  I know i am only one of many but i am proud of all of us who have put so much energy into St Judes.  Not sure i have ever said it but i am thankfull to all of the guys who have worked hard behind the scenes.   You guys are incredible.  

OH yeah, one last thing.  I heard a rumor today that some more knifes were forged recently for the Twister 12.  I bet with a little coaxing you guys could get some pictures !!

Thanks for starting this Travis !

Well, I don't hve any pictures, but I CAN confirm that another 3 blades were forged out on Wednesday & the final blade will be done on Sunday. There is still some grinding & heat treating to do & they'll be on their way to Wisconsin for handles, before turning around for Florida. I'll be able to get them up to Mr. Whip on Tuesday. I was supposed to take them up to Comptons, but unfortunately The Wife thought I should spend at least some time helping with the business before galivanting of to enjoy m'self (again!)  :goldtooth:

Excellent news Rob, thanks for the update.  Really looking forward to some picks of these knives all together.  Maybe Whip could post a few when he gets some handles put on 'em, and then some gator sheaths...man is it ever going to be worth the wait!

I'm at Compton this week - spent this evening visiting with fellow Twister Rob, Skyler, & Kenny along with a bunch of other Trad Gnager.  Before heading over here I finished up the scales on one more Twister blade and put scales on two others.  Rob will send up three more next week.  

Jeff should be heading home from bear camp tomorrow.  We'll be back in full production next week.  I'll get some more pictures added soon.     :thumbsup:

Just got Larry on a plane back to Florida...along with two of my five knives for the Twisters.  Actually there is now an additonal Twister/Forger as I got to teach Larry how to forge up his own Twister  :)   We finished it with ten minutes to spare before leaving for his plane.  Didn't even get to take a picture....tippit

PS: Larry & I did get our Bears too!

Not surprised you and Larry scored  :bigsmyl:  

The "Tomatoe Blade" showed up on Wednesday. Left for Compton on Thursday and got back today. Will get her scaled up and sent off ASAP.

Sounds awesome guys!  

Can't wait to see the beauty that rose from the rubble of the tornados out yonder and raised a bunch of money for the kids.

Y'all are the cream or the crop...

Just arrived home.  Saw this thread and thought I'd post pics of what I have so far.

The top one is the twister with its sheath.  The other 2 are what I brought home from Jeff's to make up sheaths.

 

This next pic is the one that Jeff helped with forging today.  I received a lot of help on this one from the master!  Thanks Jeff!

 

p.s.  Benjy, if you read this I received the gator hide.  Thank you my friend as I'll be able to finish up several more sheaths for the Twister sisters!

If you look real closely at Larry's knife, you'll notice my stamp with the arrow going up.  That's Larry's New Touch Mark  :)  Doc

Beautiful stuff guys, man I'm excited to see the end results!

I have always loved the simplicity of a 550 cord wrapped blade.  Thy just scream utilitarian...

I had a very nice fighting knife when in the service that was cord wrapped that I paid a month's pay for but it was stolen from my truck before I got deployed with it.

Congrats on the bears guys, that is awesome!

The Twister thread on the St Jude auction was action packed and there are some very talented and generous folks that made it all happen. I wish I would of had Jack Guard selling for me when I was in the box business, that boy has some energy. Great job all ... For the Kids    :thumbsup:

It was a blast.  Can't wait to see all the blades this group put together.  All of them are artists and philanthropists, just a great group of guys.
