Hi All;
We are indeed fortunate to be members of this forum. It is well run and all members respect each other, willingly participate, and are quick to help and offer advice to all in need.
I don't belong to a lot of other forums and fear that has lead to some complacency on my part-believing all other forums were similarly well operated and supported. Most importantly, new members are welcomed and encouraged to participate. It doesn't take long to realize if you have a problem, someone at the Creek has the answer.
This revelation is driven by a recent experience (today) which I had at a woodworking forum which apparently has a few scrollswaing members who are downright beligerent about lasers and the apparent effect they have had on their ability to earn a living-"really don't have to have any skilll to run a laser, just enough money to buy one. I suppose the coping saw guys thought the same about the scrollsawers!
Anyway, not really a big issue but sure does make one appreciate the gang here at the Creek and the folks who run it.
