Alex Middleton Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Looks like this year's theme is bladesmithing related tools. Anything related to making blades, handles, or sheaths is fair game. Just try to keep with the spirit of the KITH and push yourself outside of your traditional boundaries. Preliminary due date of September 30th. Add your name to the list below if you plan on participating. I know I'm looking forward to seeing the WIP threads. 1.

Chesterton So, just for the record: the fact that it does work still should not be taken as definitive proof that you are not crazy.

The first few WIP threads usually provide a bunch of ideas, though. So stay tuned as folks start making stuff. “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.

Francis Gastellu Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I apologize, things have changed and in just a few months, I wont have a shop until I'm able to rebuild one overseas, which will take a long while. I don't think it'd be fair to participate if my contribution was a rush job so I'm going to have to remove my name. I'm really sorry I won't participate, I was looking forward to this very much (my plan was to make wrought iron dividers with a little bit of engraving and inlay, maybe i'll still do that at some point). I'm sure that once I see the tools you all make, I'll be even more bummed that I don't get to own one of them. Ugh 1. Alex Middleton 2. Jaron Martindale 3. Geoff Keyes 4. Aiden Carley-Clopton 5.

Robert D. Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Ohhh I TOTALLY have a couple ideas for this. 1. Alex Middleton 2. Jaron Martindale 3. Geoff Keyes 4. Aiden Carley-Clopton 5.

Don Abbott Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Gentlemen, I am going to go ahead and respectfully bow out of this one. I refuse to rush anything I would present to this group, and I've let my "to do" list get the better of me. List amended: 1. Alex Middleton 2. Jaron Martindale 3. Geoff Keyes 4.

Alan Longmire Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Yeah, I think I'm going to have to withdraw as well. Had a giant oak fall in the yard yesterday, which has eliminated any free time I will have for the next few weeks. List amended: 1. Alex Middleton 2. Jaron Martindale 3. Geoff Keyes 4.

Bruno Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) Sorry Guys. Hate to do this for the second year in a row. I have to bow out. Been busy fighting off the world coming apart around me. Throwing every thing I got at it. Those poor unfinished and now rusted blades after the monsoons, might just rust away before I can get to them again... Amended List. 1. Alex Middleton 2. Jaron Martindale 3. Geoff Keyes 4.

Eric Morgan Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Sorry to pile on the leaving train, but my wife had to have back surgery, and so I'm having to do everything around the house and work to keep the bills paid, so I don't think I'll be able to complete my project I'd intended to for the KITH. Which really sucks, because I was excited to participate. 1. Alex Middleton 2. Jaron Martindale 3. Geoff Keyes 4. Aiden Carley-Clopton 5. Brian Dougherty 6. Doug Webster 7. Ted Stocksdale 8.

Chiyo Razi Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Same here, found myself moving the better part of 1000 miles for work. It's temporary, but I probably won't be back in time to finish my project. 1. Alex Middleton 2. Jaron Martindale 3. Geoff Keyes 4. Aiden Carley-Clopton 5. Brian Dougherty 6. Doug Webster 7.

Joshua States Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 So the list is down to 9 people, there's 4 days left until the due date, and only 6 people have started build threads, with 5 showing progress. Who needs more time to do this? “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.
