Jerald Nickels, a custom folding knife builder from Perkins, Oklahoma, spent a few days at the shop last week. He brought a big piece of damascus steel that he had gotten from Alabama damascus (http://www.alabamadamascussteel.com/servlet/StoreFront ) that we managed to forge into a set of spurs.
This was a very enjoyable project, along with some very enjoyable company. I kept getting caught up in what we were doing, and forgetting to take pictures.
I wished I could do this kind of thing more, as well as travel to other shops. I learned a lot just sitting and talking. It has always amazed me how free every one in the knife, bit, and spur world are with their information and techniques.
