It is amazing how this site has impacted my life. Earlier today one of our members - Salem - stopped by the farm to pick up some cedar and QSRO. Salem got more than he bargained for; when he showed up I was unloading 20,000 lbs worth of oak logs from my trailer and he pitched in to help, and then helped me to hook up my wife's horse trailer to the dually.
Earlier this week I needed to come up with a good finish for a kitchen tabletop in the shop; something that would not look shiny but would withstand water spills, etc. I looked no further than one of my finishing manuals, where I had printed and saved a formula that Gregory Paolini shared with another NCWW member last year (3 parts thinner, two parts satin poly, and one part BLO).
Earlier this week Don Patterson was kind enough to share some advice with me, and helped me to troubleshoot a problem with my jointer.
Brian from Chatham stopped by yesterday to pick up some steel sheet (left over from my dust collection project), and we had a great visit.
Reggie Medlin was here last week, and we had a great visit and lunch.
Later today I am working on completing some spalted pecan veneer, for a project that Dave O'Nan referred to me last year.
Kyle Edwards contacted me recently about picking up some QSRO for a friend of his, and he will be heading over in a week or two to pick up a couple of hundred board feet.
Several NCWW members (Sawduster, Gary Conklin, Brian from Chatham), all contacted me recently to make sure that I saw a craigslist posting from a person looking for QSWO. Brian even went to the extent of contacting the poster and referring them to me!
Tom Ferone and Bruce Wrenn have both been in the shop during the past couple of weeks, and member Doug Wilberg has been in the shop numerous times assisting me with my large dust collection system.
And a few weeks back Ron Underhill sent me an e-mail enquiring about some QSWO for an old English gate project that he was working on.
Steve Coles - you really created something wonderful, and I am pleased to see the continued growth and expansion of our membership under the generous contributions made by our members, our moderators and admins, and our BOD.
This is truly a generous and giving community.
