my woodworking sharpening stuff doubles as knife sharpeners. Got some diamond CBN wheels on the grinder and a jig for the turning tools and chisels. Also a boatload of wetstones goin up to 14,000 grit. Only really go to 10,000 and that's only on one chisel that's used for highly figured woods and burls which I rarely work with

Gotta love sharp tools in the shop, kitchen and otherwise!
When I was down on my luck for a while in a S. American fishing village with no electricity, I did carpentry with only hand tools, building furniture, small boats, and marine contracting on local fishing and smuggling craft. Native hardwoods included oak, cocobolo, ebony, lignum vitae, and a couple varieties of mahogany. Sharp handsaws, chisels, axes, adzes, and augers were essential.
 
So the idea has been proposed for a 2026, possibly 2027 if 2026 doesn't work out, but an AFN sponsored educational jamboree.

A few days of likely camping, with a focus on education, community, food, and togetherness. I have been researching multiple spots that allow camping, RV hookups, local lodging, etc. Cannabis friendly.

Colorado is the most central for a USA event. I've had some mentions for Michigan and Oklahoma as well. The venue has to be either on a private property or on a public access, adult-use permissible place. An attorney consultation will be had about "how dumb of an idea is this, or what do we need to at minimum cover our asses."

No fancy big name entertainment.

No competition.

If possible, a place for people to setup tents/booths for their genetics, gear, whatever, within legal reason (and what we don't advertise or don't know, well you do you boo.)

I have mulled this around for a long time, and everyone said "cup, cup," and well. We don't seem to like that idea, unless we do it. And I just don't know if we're there yet, and man. I don't really want to do a cup.

I want to do a fun ass weekend with people I've known for a long time, but never met. I want to try some of your cooking. SOME. Not all. Of your cooking. :shrug: :eyebrows: :bighug:

When Nancy Wallace invited me to her event in Oklahoma, she told me their farm spent 10k hiring the Mendo Dope Boys to fly out for the night do to their set.

Rather than spend 10k on mendo dope boys, let's figure out how to get everyone here, with safe lodging, water, food, etc.

With some planning and invitation, I think we could make this a thing. Pictured like 200-300 people? Maybe that's not ambitious. Maybe that's too ambitious. A "Friday (if you can), Saturday (you should be there for sure by morning), and Sunday (wrapping it up) kind of thing.

Thoughts on any of this?

But I want this to be accessible, not a cash grab, but covering expense. 100% down to make costs transparent.

If this sounds stupid, I need to know that because there's some serious pull to make this happen lol.
