Hi All,
Im new here.
Glad I found this forum, I have really learned alot.
I have been carving these hobo nickels since about 2002.
They are fun to do and can become very addictive.
Thanks,
Keith Pedersen

Now I know why your name sounded familiar. I stumbled onto your site just last week.
Working with "Big Daddy" is credetials enough to lend credibility ,to a guy who has been into Hot Rods since Car Craft & Hotrod Magazines came in 5"X7" format. Think I was about 10 when I started reading them at the soda fountain at Weiricks Drug.

Keith
