Otto,

Thanks for taking the time to create such an enviroment focusing on the western artisian. I'm sure it will be a great success.

I'm new to this type of work myself, but will gladly help if I can. You asked for suggestions/ideas? How about a event calender of upcoming shows/events, and members can post if they will be there.

I just returned from Abilene, and was very impressed with not only the gear, but the overall feel of the show. Everyone seemed willing to answer my "rookie" questions. I'm hoping to find the same here.

Smile

Good luck,

[/b]

Just went to photobucket.com, got an account, uploaded my pictures to that and then a quick copy and paste [thanks to the ingenious help of Nick] here a picture of some of my work:

Otto, I just wanted to echo what everyone else has said. As a new engraver, I have learned a lot from the other forums and have met some nice folks too. But it will be really great to have a place where I can ask questions specific to western metal arts. Thanks again for taking the initiative to do this!
