Jeroen Zuiderwijk Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 There's the quick and efficient way of doing things, or more exciting, challenging and time consuming ways. Like for example if you want a knife, you can go buy one at a store. It's cheap, does the job fine. Or you can learn to forge one yourself, play with fire, bash metal, and craft various other materials and 20 years later, you will still some day be making that perfect knife that you always wanted to make. But you've had lots of fun (and frustration) along the way. 2 Jeroen Zuiderwijk Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/barbarianmetalworking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said my friend this ol' world is a tough place to be in and Iv'e got some philosophical words fer you to chew on, and they've always worked fer me''''' If you can't eat it, And if you can't fight it, And if you can't fuck it, Just piss on it !!

Brian Dougherty Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 This board is refreshing apolitical, so this is a bit risky for me to post. However, the current political climate has driven me to coin another phrase: "I have the right to be offended by anything you do. However, I choose to waive that right because I am willing to assume you meant no harm." 1 -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Brewer Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 I think all of us lose sight of the fact that simplicity is one of the greatest things that we all too often forget to appreciate, be it pleasure, or the process of work.

Joshua States Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 There's really no point in holding on to a mistake just because you have a lot of time invested in it. 1 “So I'm lightin' out for the territory, ahead of the scared and the weak and the mean spirited, because Aunt Sally is fixin’ to adopt me and civilize me, and I can't stand it.

I want that knife to look so good you just have to pick it up, feel so good in your hand you can't wait to try it, and once you use it, you never want to put it down ! If I capture those three factors in each knife I build, I am assured the knife will become a piece that is used and treasured by its owner! ~~~ C Craft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
