 This is all about the great friendships on this site......
Well it all started when I won a bet with Geoff (Bigdog72), with the Rays beating his beloved Red Sox. My prize is a free breakfast. So when he posted about his maple problems, I told him that I was heading to Saw4You (Jack's) to pick up some cypress and asked if he needed some pine which I would bring to him when we met for breakfast. So he told me to pick up 50 bd/ft.
Then he talked to Mac (skysharks) who mentioned that he had to pick up 200 bd/ft of black walnut, so now I'm picking up black walnut .gif "Drogar Laugh(DBG)") . I also was picking up my load of 100 bd/ft of cypress. I was also looking for some baltic birch on a thread I posted here and Robert (sawduster) pm'd me about some 1/4" that he had for me , if I wanted it (I was looking for 3/4" BB but I can always use some 1/4"), so after leaving Jack's in Rolesville, I headed to Youngsville to pick up the BB from Robert (enough for me and Bigdog  ) and headed home. I had my neighbor Bruce with me and when we got home he walked into his garage and pulled out a piece of 3/4" x 2' x 4' BB that had been sitting in his garage for two years and he offered it to me since he didn't need it .
So in the 'Six degrees of seperation' style I touched Jack, Robert, Geoff, and Mac. I would like to thank everyone involved for a good morning, it's good when you deal with that many North Carolina Woodworker's in one day.
Breaking my tradition (and fear of anything computer related) I am now posting my first photo, it's of today's haul. This Site Rocks !

Just think, If the Red Sox hadn't lost none of this would have happened. A simple twist of fate (and some crappy pitching) brought us all together!
Thanks for all that you do, Jimmy!!! | |

It always amazes me when similiarly minded folks interact. There's a lot of it on this web site. Our benefactor (and his select band of scallywags)does a heck of a job in screening and weeding out the less than desireable elements.
To truly appreciate this site all one has to do is visit some of the other ones a while and see how long it takes before you come 'home' with your tail between your legs...
When you see this sort of post, not so much a 'success story' as another example of the community spirit that thrives here, I just feel good inside even though I had nothing to do with any of it. I've shared moments though I tell you what, with a bunch of our fine folks. And no doubt many more to come.
Now about that wood, who's on first???? | |
