Great job Doug. Looking forward to you getting your stamp!  

[Doug Campbell]

Oh not much fear of that yet Dave    I'll be elligible to test for my JS stamp in July but the actual testing wont be till "09". We've got another Knifesmith who frequents this site that will be testing next month though. No doubt he'll be successful from what I've seen of his work.

Very cool Doug! That is a he** of a test. Good luck on the JS stamp.

Hey Doug,  I'm glad you didn't "TEST" my new one. I've always wondered what went into these tests.  Thanks for the pictoral.  The rope test picture reminds me of the Old Black Sabath Parinoid album cover.  Too cool.  Jeff
