Hey len, this link should answer some of you questions http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,48125.0.html.
This years Christmas trade is well underway, but keep your eye out for future trades. The next one will probably be the bow trade which usually starts around January.

I'm sure there are some who could give a better answer than I, but here goes:  In my opinion, Its about community, its about pushing ourselves to expand our skills, and its about giving. Its us attempting to create something to the best of our ability and then sending it along to another member of our community.

Hopefully that answers your questions :)

For me it is about stepping outside my comfort zone. Learning to make new things. And most of all just having a good time.

It's about making something for a potential stranger,  doing your best work and going on your gut as to what your recipient will like.

Last year I drew an acquaintance, and knew exactly what to make him.

This year is more of a mystery.

Wow, this is very cool! There was something similar to this on a un related hobby forum of mine. You would fill a box with random parts and trade random parts with people like a mystery. Very fun.

Hey fellows, It's getting kinda quiet again. How about a new round of updates?

I don't have much to report. Still working on a forge or some other way to heat treat my knife blank.

You can build a fire,take a fan of some kid and point it into  the fire,that will heat your blade for treating. I did that all the time until I built my forge.
