The Board

Thanks everybody!

Fun it is not, but I find the creation process very rewarding, it was something that was missing from my life for a while.

We live in fascinating times, just like I learned fly fishing and specifically casting in a vacuum with the help of the Board, the www opened knife-making for me.

I clearly remember in 2006 I mentioned to somebody how badly I wanted to learn about making knives. I was obviously online by then, but I lacked bandwidth for youtube etc, and at that stage the fishing was an absolute obsession.....

We can do or learn just about anything these days.....

We’ve now moved on and have stopped using rods and fly lines are optional but nobody teaches you to breathe in a vacuum

Back from fishing to find this had been delivered today. No idea how its gonna turn out but looking forward to putting my first knife together

A vacuum...................of knowledge
That was a dramatic pause BTW......

I've been away too long....so the tackle is now imaginary as well?

Sure is, the real masters have even moved on to imaginary fish.
