Simona and Alexander now no living in my town, but every summer they come to their grandmother's for a few weeks and take an intensive (daily) course in my studio.

What have we not done? This year, the project is ambitious - making a knife.

Nobody want to give a prognose what and whether it will work out.
I will give the story day by day and hope for a happy end

If I write it that they did everything, I will not be honest.
First meeting with belt and angle grinders. Wow, that's a serious thing

Very cool. I would have loved to have a chance to learn knife making as a teen.

My uncle was a knife maker, and I had a dream of learning from him..... but he passed away before I could.

They will cherish the experience, and the knife!
 
What a great opportunity for them. Its nice to see the younger generation getting into something more than computers and phones.
Looks like they are doing a Great Job !!! Thanks for showing...
