Title: New to the board
Post by: robtattoo on May 03, 2010, 02:11:08 pm
I just wanted to drop in here & say 'Hi' to everyone. I've just got back from theTN classic & after meeting so many of you, I thought I'd better sign up!

In case I didn't get to meet you properly, or get your screen-name (I was a little busy all weekend, building my first bow) I'm the English guy that was mooching around the workshops.

I've been a member of TradGang for a good few years & have been a traditional archer forever (it seems) I was a knifemaker before my Wife (Jules) & I moved over here & I'm happy to help out in any way I can with any questions regarding blademaking & forging.

I look forward to learning all I can from all of y'all!  ;D

Hay Rob.
Glad you signed up here. Nice to meet you this weekend and help out with building your bow. I enjoyed chatting with you and was glad to see at least one 'correct' handle made on one of those bows......  Just in case you didnt catch my handle at the classic. wish I would have gotten to see you shoot that bow. was it a screamer?
Welcome aboard.
