TOURS
I think that could be interesting. I would enjoy opening my shop up to a tour.

Actually, it might be interesting to see some of the other "bare minimum" shops out there. I always get a kick out of people rolling their eyes when I mention I do all my damascus work without power hammers and such in the middle of my back yard...or that up until last year I did it on the patio of a condo! That, and a lot of folks are under the impression you need 5K woth of equipment to get into knifemaking. The magazines seem to focus on the high end shops, but most people start somewhere near the "low end".
Hmm....what about a small feature of several smith's from a single area? Over the next several months have "The smiths of South Texas" or "the smiths of Houston, San Antonio, Bryan/College Station...", etc? A member in each area could sponsor the article and be in charge of gathering info and putting it together. With as many members as we have, it shouldn't be too difficult to round up volunteers. __________________ Don "Krag" Halter

Shop tours
:cool:
All TKCA members who are interested in opening up their shops for a tour  can contact me at cwknifeman@ticnet.com, or call (817) 295-3732. Or, you can see me at the Spirit of Steel Show by stopping by my table I think it's C-6.Thanks to all, __________________ Curtis Wilson Wilson's Custom Knives, Engraving, and Scrimshaw

My shop is pretty far at the other end of the spectrum from the bare minimum shops that Don Halter mentions. I currently have about 8 full time workers helping out. (A couple of the guys are experienced knifemakers that happen to like like a steady paycheck.)
