I looked in at my home page, today.

I’ve been here two years. The figures say it all. I don’t think I would have achieved half of the above without the support of the people who read, write and actively contribute to this site. I don’t think I would have explored half of the avenues I have, the inspiration of my fellow LJ’s has been invaluable. I wonder what the next year will bring?
I’d like to thank you all and especially Martin Sojka for creating the most fun playgroup I’ve ever belonged to.

I couldn’t have said it any better, Martyn. It is all because of the Jocks like you, Jordan, GaryK, Andy and the whole fam damily of people who love working with wood that keep us inspired and challenged while having fun! I can get excited about seeing what other LJs have been up to. Keep up the good fun, everyone ! ! !

Well deserved kudos Martyn.
You are truly one of the “respected elders” at the tender age of two here on Lumberjocks. It’s people like you that inspire the rest of us to expand our imaginations and stretch our limits.
Your projects are always highly creative and of excellent technique and craftsmanship.
Bravo, Happy birthday!
