Kudoes to Turners

[Hilel Salomon]

Having had shoulder, knee and eye surgery as well as a killer cold, I found myself at the computer too long and too often during the last few months. As a consequence, I've been looking at and occasionally participating in several forums including woodturning, woodworking, gardening, and those for forestry and arborists.
Turners are hands down the most helpful, encouraging and friendly of the forumists (is there such a word?). Every question I've asked and those of others gets helpful, informative replies. Every photo of a turning gets a positive and encouraging series of responses.
Unlike some of the other forums-though even there most people are friendly- I don't see a lot of ego here and definitely no p---ing contests. As a-hopefully reformed- frenetic consumer, I'm always looking to see what people recommend and I noticed that the difference between the responses here and elsewhere is marked. All of you are to be commended for your exceptional kindness and patience. You are one more reason that I love woodturning.!!!

Hello,

I agree, the members of this forum are a fine group of peoplke who are more than willing to share their knowledge. I also belong to a couple of wood carving forums, and it is the same way with carvers. Amazing group of people.

Of course, most of the turners like myself sinking every penny into this dark hole; we have nothing to hold tight to our vests. We like to spread the misery around.

Sometimes, I feel like I am a US Senator, deciding how to spend others' money - especially money they don't have, they can't afford.

I've said this before, Turners live on the edge and suffer an amazing amount of humility in what they do. After you've been bit, stabbed, smacked in the face and watched your work blow apart after hours and hours of painstaking care.....it just makes you kinda humble. And everyone is in the same boat.

I like 'em. They're great people.:)
