I agree Glenn.
I need to look at as many sides of a craft as possible. I found woodworking to be very bound by tradition when I first got into it. After all it's one of the oldest crafts. I was a rule breaker and still tend be.
As a retired self employed woodworker I like to interact here on the creek. It keeps me open minded. What works well for me may seem crazy to a woodworker just starting out. I have learned a lot here and shared my experience too.
I now know THE BEST way to sharpen tools from scanning the Neanderthal Haven!
Nothing better than the free exchange of ideas to hone one's skills.
