I just want to say that I cannot attend. I signed up but unfortunately I am out of luck. Really was looking forward to meeting everyone in person but it just ain't gonna happen this year. I have not been able to unsign up on the event site. regards, Sean

Thanks for the tip Dave.

I tried to insert the photos. Sean

Just a follow up to original situation. I ended up not taking up David on his generous offer. I guess I felt that I had gotten myself into it and he has enough stuff to do so why make it his problem? Again I really appreciated the offer by David to fix it and I'm sure it would have been...

Welcome Bill.

Welcome!

270 Gyuto is my main knife. I use one 90% of the time and the other 10% is either a Honesuke or 285 Suji. The 2 gyutos I use most are use either a DT ITK 270 or a Nenox S1 Corian 270 with a slight edge going to the Nenox. My honesuke is a Tojiro DP and the suji is also a Nenox S1 Corian.

I use a KA to grind meat for burgers. I shoot for 70% chuck and 30% short rib but if I see a small piece of skirt then I will throw that in also. I grind the meat twice and salt it in between the first and second grind. I try to cook the burgers within 30 minutes of grinding which is easy to...

I just sold a 1987 911 Targa. I would tread very lightly in looking at older 911's. They are fantastic and the small maintenance is a breeze with parts being reasonable but the bigger items are a killer. I had an engine issue where I starting consuming 1 Qt of oil every 200 miles. Something...

Done.

I am planning on it. I wanted to go last year but couldn't make it. looking forward to meeting everyone face to face.
