I'm planning on it.
Mojam is the 3rd weekend in July. You wanna learn about making wood bows, arrows, flint knapping, atlatls, it goes on and on...this is where you learn. Potluck and auction on Saturday night is great too!

I was planning on making the journey this year, but it looks like a very important project at work will keep me from going. You have no idea how disappointed I am. I was stoked about making it this year. I can only hope to make it next year.

'Lord willin, an the creek don't rise...  I've asked for the days off at work, and hope to make my first MoJam.  No "tar and feathers" for a lowly glass-lam shooter, I hope!!!

I was wondering if there are typically any build-along selfbow classes?  (Like where you participate in an instructional class by making your own bow, etc.)

No way I'm missin' this one. Headed over early and staying late. Talked to my pal Littletree and he is headed down with Dave and Dave's two lovely daughters. If the line to have Rachel make you a string is too long, I'll make ya one.

Curtis, find a guy named Gary Davis (around the band saw) and even hint that you wanna make a bow and you will be deep in the shavings before you can blink.
Title: Re: who is going to mojam this year?
Post by: Curtis Haden on July 15, 2008, 01:34:00 AM
I'll do that Shaun, thanks.  After going back and looking at some of the names on this thread, I have no doubt there will be a ton of talent to watch and learn from.

Really looking forward to it!

I'm planning on being there Thurs  mid morning-- maybe Wed about suppertime. Joemarty-- I don't think I've seen you since you (or Rusty) had that chainsaw bark eater running. Larry

I have been planning on making it on Wednesday...Tyson just decided to send chicks on Thursday morning...!  My son said he would cover for me, but I'm not sure my conscience would allow it...worst case...I'll be heading north thursday late morning... Gifford...you "boys" save me a place to park when I get there and a place to set my tent ...  :)

Look at all the long-lost coming out of the woodwork!

I'm coming with a fella from Lower AL, we'll roll in Thursday evening.  Hoping to trade fer a neckknife or sumpthin'.

Be glad to show ya how to twist up a string, Dean. It'll take ya about 15 minutes to learn.

Buz-Al,  stop by our camp & check out my knife selection:  Red Ford f-150 w/ grey campertop.Do you ever hear from Tom Dickerson?  Question for those who went to the first few MoJam's-- who was that wild guy from Wisc (a chemist) who did knapping, walked the railroad to find rocks, probably a friend/compadre of "Pablo's"? Larry

Now THERE's a name we haven't seen in a while.  Last I remember of him, he had posted pics of a bow with more pieces/parts than a Deere!

Larry, I haven't heard from Tom in a while.  I've tried calling a couple times w/ no answer and no message machine.  He must have caller ID. :-)
Title: Re: who is going to mojam this year?
Post by: Caveman IL on July 15, 2008, 07:04:00 PM
Thanks, JD .  I couldn't think of his name for anything. Buz, that's funny.  I got a couple of really nice staves from Tom in a swap-- the best staves I've ever had my hands on. Larry
Title: Re: who is going to mojam this year?
Post by: Bob Barnes on July 15, 2008, 08:24:00 PM
Cooter had that wild bow with the big carved Russian olive tips...he sure broke lots of rock...I have a bowl that he fired in a kiln.

I finally started packing...I guess I need to bring the truck this year.  LOL.

Bob

-Larry...my friend Dean is bringing a 12 foot trailer of good wood and won't be there until Friday...we need to find him a place to park it.  He (his wife) decided to stay in town at night.   :)
Title: Re: who is going to mojam this year?
Post by: John Scifres on July 15, 2008, 10:40:00 PM
I'll be there Friday morning with my 2 older kids.  I'm driving the Toyota micro-car so I won't be bringing much.  It wasn't just a coincidence that I started making 60" bows when I bought that car  :)

I know Timo will be there and Tom Leemans with his girls.  Mickey will also be there with Dianne, I think Friday.

Irish and I will be there for SAturday. Family stuff will prevent us from camping as usual. Planning on visiting with Wingnut as soon as we get there. PIcking up a little package that I test shot at Comptons.Have to do a little shopping with the Horton's Nocking point. Hopefully have time to finish up a few selfbows.  See you all there.

Title: Re: who is going to mojam this year?
Post by: Buz-AL on July 16, 2008, 11:16:00 AM
Larry, all of my best bows are from wood I got from Tom.  I tried calling him again last night to remind him of us and got the generic answering machine again, so I don't even know if its his number anymore.  Whoever has it now probably wishes I would leave 'em alone.

My kind wife is encouraging me to make a dream trip back to Mojam to see old friends.  With the course life has taken, the $$$ are more of a consideration than before.  Makes me wonder...

1. Has anyone used either of the lower-cost motels on the site (Budget Inn or Gene's)?  Were they at least acceptable? Or...

2. Would any brave soul care to consider splitting a room?  (Separate beds ONLY!)  :goldtooth:

If you need to, feel free to PM me or email at djharding@njoymail.com

THANKS!
