So Ashokan was revolutionary as usual, learned LOADS. Next year is the special sword themed event, where the focus is only on swords. One confirmed demonstrator and special guest will be the one and only Peter Johnsson!

So I figure I need to WOW, and hence I will set myself goals this year.[/i][/u][/b]

I will only focus on 4 swords. 1 katana, possibly polished. 1 euro longsword with a hollow ground diamond cross section. 1 fantasy longsword LOTR based but NOT following ANY Weta design, following information from the books only and personal design decisions. 1 rapier.

No more machine finish, on anything. Hand rubbed finishes on guards, pommels and blades.

Everything will be precision fit, I will get a set of file guides to assist with this.

No more parachord handles, unless it will have leather glued over it.

More of a plan when I go into a project, allow for some freedom of materials input hehe but have a plan to atleast start with.

No more letting my hands get ahead of my head, no more "waiting for the next one" to do something right.

It will be a fun, challenging, and exciting year!
