Cousin of Kenb

Mike Burt · #1 08-21-2011, 05:50 PM

Hi Folks,

My name is Mike Burt and I am Kenb's cousin from Scotland.

Ken introduced me to this site and his own, a few months ago to see what he had been up to with his metalshaping.

I'd like to be able to see more of what he was doing and see how he helped others be as fanatical about beating metal as he was.

Regards,

Mike.

Welcome Mike. Ken was a frequent poster and every time I see one of his old posts it hits me again that he's gone.

Welcome aboard Mike, Ken was one hell of guy. Spend some time reading his posts, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

I miss having him around.

Hi Mike.

I was one of the many that Ken helped. I first met him at his first metal shaping get together. His addiction to this hobby was contagious. He had a very unique ability to be able to talk to people at there level and not over power them with his knowledge. That made for a very excellant teacher.
I am still shocked over the sudden loss of such a great man. My condolences to you and your family.

Hi Mike,

Welcome to the site.... I'm just like Kerry every time I read through a thread that Ken has posted a comment on it hits me all over again. Ken had an amazing talent and really loved to share it with anyone who was interested, he is sorely missed!

Welcome aboard Mike.

Ken also helped me out by inviting me down to get me started in this shaping stuff.

He will be missed.
Search his threads and you will be amazed at what you see.
