new guy

just thought id say hi to everyone. this is my first time posting. I just became hooked on trying my hand at making knives, I have made two so far out of old files and really enjoy doing it. I tried with files first as they were cheap. I only have a 4x36 sander grinder, and 4.5 angle grinder right now but will upgrade someday. I must admit I am really impressed with the work ive seen on these forums. when I improve then I"ll post some pictures, till then keep up the good work.

Welcome Flip. Fill out your profile, you might be living "right next door" to one of the members here. It's always good to get in a little shop visit time in to speed up the learning curve.
