New member here, just wanted to jump on here and say Howdy.  I am a Navy Vet and current USBP Agent. I started out Blacksmithing in 2013 and got into blades a couple years ago and finally decided to take the plunge and join the ABS.  When I'm not training/working K-9's for the Patrol you can find me in my shop (garage) banging/grinding away on steel.  I really enjoy this craft that will soon become my full time gig when I retire in  1 yr and 359 days (but who's counting!) and move back to Texas and set up shop.  Looking forward to reading all of the great info on here and getting to know ya'll.
