Atwood Knifemaking Video Passaround Signup Thread
This is a signup thread to participate in a passaround of a DVD copy of the 2002 Peter Atwood video Building A Folding Framelock Knife.
My goal is to make sure that EVERY person who wants to see this video is able to do so and unless demand pushes into the thousands, I intend to do exactly that. I am trying to determine how many copies of the DVD will make such a goal feasible without taking years. I know Gadget Guy has already done a passaround of this DVD transfer, and in fact, it is his copy that is currently in my possession that I will be using for the seed. So I'm not sure how much demand there will be, but it seems like Peter has added one or two fans since the last passaround. I guess we'll all find out. :shrug:
The video shows the making of what Peter calls a "Ventilator" model in the video and what he now calls the "AirFrame" model. Personally, I like the name AirFrame much better. I also like the knives. There were either 3 or 4 produced total and I own 2 of them. Mine were made immediately after the video. I am undertaking this passaround as one way of giving thanks for these awesome knives that I was so amazingly blessed to score and which I expect I will consider the centerpieces of my collection for many years to come.
The video is EXCELLENT, and really helps show how much work and precision goes into making a framelock folding knife. I have learned a great deal from it already, and I have only watched it once. Peter is very good at breaking down the steps and explaining things in a way that is easy to follow, even if, like me, you have no machining background.
I was pleased to score this way cool original copy of the video a few weeks ago on the secondary market (I'm a sucker for an Atwood logo :help
, but I'll never need to put it in a VCR thanks to the awesome DVD copy.
A huge THANK YOU to KIBITZ and GADGET GUY for making sure the DVD transfer got into my hands. :twothumbs
If you are interested in participating in the passaround, please post the following in this thread:
username, city, state, zip (if USA).
username, city, country (if not USA).
International participants MUST agree to pay priority insured trackable postage to anywhere on Earth. But I will try to keep the distances as minimal as possible.
US participants MUST agree to pay domestic USPS Priority Insured w/ Delivery Confirmation to the next participant on the list.
I will maintain the list of shipping addresses privately so that your address will only be shared with the person who ships to you and myself. No list of addresses will be included in the box.
To keep the DVDs from traveling tens of thousands of unnecessary miles and to reduce the transit delays, I will make a Google map with all the locations on it and then determine the order by that rather than by who signs up first. Let's cut it off September 30 and I will ship the DVDs out October 1. This offer will be posted on EDCF, CPF, CK&G & USN. You only need to sign up once.
Aside from postage to the next participant, this offer is free.
This passaround is approved by Peter Atwood and Homie.
