INGO Grind In 2013.

[LGDawg]

I would be happy to buy the materials for the knife, blade and handles, but would need some guidence as I haven't the first clue on what to buy. So if there could be a group buy that I could get in on, I vote for that option.

Couldn't have said it better. +1

Very interested in attending, but I would be a first timer.

Just found this thread, but I'm VERY interested in coming. I would be delighted to pay for materials, or anything else that's needed.

i will have the blade profiles... no big deal there. i will have to buy the steel and get it cut. i was going to use CPM M4, but i ran out! so i will be get 1095 cut for us!

 

[goosehuntermp]

Cubby...that kirinite is awesome looking! What size slabs would we need?

 

[Miketodd]

I am definintly liking the wood ones, But the black and green carbon fiber/G10 would make for an awesome "zombie" knife.

 

[cubby]

We will only need a pair of slabs each. .25 thick would be fine. The 3/8 will work too, but end up thick. A lot of material removal.

 

[goosehuntermp]

Cubby...I'll pick up a bag of those rivets.

 

[SideArmed]

Cubby, so I have this straight and dont' end up screwing this up somehow. If I order the following I should be ok?

Corby Bolts:
Corby Copper bolt MEDIUM .183" shaft with.250" shoulder - Shields, Corbys, other Fasteners - Handle Material & Hardware

G10 scales - .25" x 5" x 1.5" (Pair)

Kydex - 12"x12", .060" sheet

Questions:
How many bags of rivets do you need?
Why not Bolteron? (Curiousity purposes)

This sounds like a great time! Can't wait for updates!

 

[cubby]

Anyone have a video recorder or handy with the steel via their phone? It's gonna be like the Fourth of July except with pointy objects.

 

[aclark]

If I come I can def bring a camcorder.

 

[Darkstar]

If its still open, my wife and I would like to come if we can find someone to watch the children.

 

[Miketodd]

Yep, just waiting on the date!!!!!

 

[Faine]

This sounds like an absolute blast and educational to boot. I'm going to keep an eye out for it next year, hopefully there is a next year for it. I love INGO events like these, you get to meet cool new people and do cool new things and most importantly learn cool new things.

 

[LGDawg]

Any word on a date for this yet? Let me know when. I hope I will be available.

 

[cubby]

This spring is all but over filled for me.

So. How does everyone feel about September 14&15? I know is it a ways off.... But the shop is stupid hot in July/August and this spring is too full. Fall is my favorite time to grind.....

 

[brianheeter]

I say it's your party, you tell us when to show up. I'm in. Tentatively, of course. Life happens sometimes but if things go well I would love to soak up as much as I can.

C ya,

brian

 

[Miketodd]

I still might be in. My daughter is due to be born on Sept. 11. It is a long shot, but we might still try.

 

[cubby]

Anyone who is unable to attend, and is seriously interested on building their own knife, we can work out a date and work 1 on 1. Offer always stands.

 

[Gabriel]

If that date is set in stone I will try to get it off. It's in the middle of my work week, but with this much notice it shouldn't be too difficult.
