Guess the addiction didn't quite take. There's always that quiet "Me" time between midnight and 4 am to sneak in a little blade work.
Stay connected Keith and figure ways to sneak in an hour or two here and there.

Can't remember if it was you or someone else who had asked about making a living at knifemaking (at the Guild meeting). I wasn't kidding. It is like making a living at bass fishing........cost a lot, you don't always have to have "Big Fish" (though it helps), you do have consistently put plenty of fish in the boat, and you need to finish in the top six consistently........if you like to eat and break even on everything else + your wife has to have a very good job.
