I really like all the old threads and posts. The wealth of information there is unbelievable. I'd just like to thank all the great woodturners out there, taking the time to explain, give knowledge, and show us little guys great skills and techniques.

I hope people take the time to go back through our great Woodturning library that has been created.

I saw a quote once, If you only read the books everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking. Haraki Murakami.

This forum is far from that , a beautiful collection of artists thinking out side the box and sharing there mistakes and accomplishments, so us little guys just learning, can learn faster, and maybe even step outside the box for a minute once in a while. ( Without a life shattering catch while trying to learn the basic of a skew through the writin word.) HaHa.:mad::rolleyes:

Thanks guys, you know who you are.
Merry Christmas.

Agreed, I spend many evenings a couple years ago doing the same thing. There is a wealth of knowledge in those posts.

With around 100,000 total posts there is enough reading material to keep one busy for a while.

I frequently go searching through old threads for various reasons, sometimes searching for information in a discussion that I faintly remember from a dozen years ago or sometimes I get sidetracked and wind up taking a trip down memory lane. :)

Dozen years ago? I have a hard enough time remembering what I had for dinner last night. Seriously, I think it would pay to browse through the past posts for information that has accumulated here. When you stop learning is when they bury you.
