Hello everyone, I'm just getting around to making this introduction post. I'm 17 years old, my name is Josh Adams and I live in Northern Illinois. My HOBBIES include knives, guns, slingshots, hunting, fishing, and trucks. My PASSION is knife making and welding. I'm currently in the local career center welding and manufacturing class as a junior. Primary interest is in tig welding with stick as a close second. Glad to be here to learn all i can!
Heres a competition recently hosted by the M.T.I. in Moline, IL. that i got 8th place in (out of ~50 participants). It was primarily 7018 for the the weldment we had to make.

I'm in the red flannel.
I don't have any pictures of my welds... want knife pictures?
