Designing as a variation of tradition

Antonio,
I think that dha is going to look great when finished , you have a good eye for putting things together. Please let us see the finished sword

Hi RhysMichael,

Thank you for the kind words. I actually can't wait to see it finished.

Nathan is a very good craftsman and smith. It is my privilege that he has accepted to do the woodwork and mounting.
I will surely place a review here, although some of the earlier steps were not photographically documented because of lack of batteries in the camera.
But Nathan's work is superb IMHO.

All I know is that there is only one Mr Big in Kazakstan and these kind of toys tend to be gifts that curry favour, what ever next

Never been to Kazakstan, so couldn't know Mr. Big.

Hi Jmings

Please just call me Antonio. I feel much more comfortable

Your words are most kind. Nathan is a fantastic woodworker on top of his smith work. He once sent me a picture of an entire bookshelf lacquered in white that he did for his home. I was amazed.

Uh oh, I feel we know each other but I am caught by surprise

Thank you

My Dear Antonio;

We have conversed on http://forums.swordforum.com about a few subjects, the last as I recall was akido barehanded defence against a sword. But have also included esthetics and more.

BTW, how's your daughter's visit going?

I am still designing and building sword stands, "Every day getting better and better" but I admit to suffering the Linus Syndrome where in a Peanuts strip by the late Charles Shultz is surrounded by pens and pencils and asked why he has so many replies that "One of these should have good handwriting." At present I am awaiting my 1/4" shank router bits and have a mental list of the tools "I've just got to have", but since I filed bankruptsy yesterday it looks like I will have to make do until I can sell some on e-bay.
