I bet he has tennis elbow.

Is was brilliant watching you work Dave, hope to watch it again in the future

Also got Justin here trying his hand a bit of Blacksmithing:

But I think he'll admit he's certainly no expert at it yet!

Congratulations great post

[dave budd]

no tennis elbow here. I try to work smart and not too hard Worst I get is sore knees from sitting down all day when demonstrating, but that's easy to get around

I think Justin was very proud of his first blade. Quite right too!
