We like WIPs (work in progress) pictorials...
This can be knife or swords or leather or Kydex sheath making.
It can also be embellishment like scrim or engraving.
It doesn't have to be a complete knife start to finish. It can be just a part of the process also.
We would like to be the home of lots of WIP's.
Anyone that creates and posts a WIP for the month of October will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win $50 gift certificate from Midwest Knifemakers Supply, llc. Www.USAknifemaker.com at the end of the month. We will continue to do this each month for the next 6 months and then evaluate how we'll it works.
I am guessing that the drawing pool will be very low each month so this is a very good chance to win $50 in supplies. Maybe one in five or ten.
Anyone, from the brand new knife maker to the veteran full timers can add to our community knowledge by posting WIPs. Just because you are new doesn't mean others can't learn something. If you are a veteran knife maker that has learned from the online community consider paying back. Even bad pictures are better than no pictures. If you are challenged with the picture side of that, we can get you help.
Finally, if someone volunteers to run a WIP section, I will set you up as the moderator for that forum and give you a free personal Knifemakers forum. Your responsibilities would be to recruit new WIPs by just asking a few people every month and give the occasional bit of assistance on posting and keeping the area alive. My goal is to have the largest compilation of WIPs online and we need to get started.

- A WIP has to have at least 4 pictures and can't just be started and abandoned.
- Pictures of your starting materials is great and helpful but don't necessarily count as a WIP. You have to show some work being done.
- A WIP that is kept active by you spanning months, get entered into each month for multiple chances to win.
- This is a new and I may have put more rules on this as we gain some experience. The idea is to get people posting their WIPs, not to chisel someone out of a chance at winning fifty bucks in stuff.
