Three Years of Happly Married Life (Woodworking)

Blog entry by Karson posted 199 days ago 445 reads 0 times favorited 37 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Well it’s been three happy years since i was joined at the hip with LumberJocks.

I just never knew anything like it.

But, then what you see now it not what was it was in the beginning. I joined – who knows why. We all signup to some web sites at time and then we never remember where it was that we asked the question. But here Martin would send us an e-mail when anyone posted a reply to our question. Talk about something being unique. Keeping us informed, instead of having to go find the site that we posted the question to see if anyone replied.

Here they did reply, and the replies meant something. It was not a derogitery reply like, “How could you ask such a stupid question?” It was a reply with love to try and help you out with your problem.

How unique.

I asked Martin when I signed up and he said that it was on 5/8/2006. So I guess It’s almost the right time. I’m on the road right now and not at my home computer. But, I met with Greg3G at his house today and then we went out for lunch and had a great time. I hope to meet up with Charles Neal tomorrrow at his shop in New Market Virginia. I’ll then head home after a mini Lumberjock tour.

Everyone have some Anniversary Cake on me. Send me a picture of what you ate.

Karson…you are so right about everything…people here care…and I do think you have really helped to set that tone with your energy, sharing and non-stop contributing…there is rarely a blog, forum, project that I go that you have not “been there” and always with a helpful reply, comment or concern…

you are a great person…while you acknowedged Martin and fellow jocks for being responsive…it is you we, I must thank as well…

Thank you…and may the journey continue my friend!

—Yes, thanks for your contributions to LJ’s and to the Mason-Dixon club… and thanks for inviting me to it. It is becoming contagious, and that isn’t all that bad… My only regret? Woodworking can become as expensive as owning a boat… and I have that hobby too… ouch.

Congratulations on three years, Karson. Your blogs have been very informative. We’ve especially enjoyed learning how to work Corian, and seeing your kitchen progress. But we envy your stash of lumber as well as your location so close to many good sources of materials for LumberJocks.

Thanks for the wealth of information you have contributed for our woodworking growth.

I’ll throw in a congrats too!! It’s been just over a year since I signed up. I was quite busy at the time and didn’t pay much attention until a few months ago. Wish I had started paying more attention here long before I did, Great site and good guys. I celebrated with my wife’s raw apple cake. Not to traditional, but every one who tastes it, wants the receipe:-))

There are people who receive a lot of attention for a variety of reasons. Too many of them take that as an opportunity to boast or, worse, preach. You, Karson, on the other hand have become a true friend to those you meet. It’s that unique quality that make you part of the foundation of LumberJocks. In my time here it has been a pleasure sharing this space with you. Congratulations and Thank you.

Hey Buddy,

A heart felt congratulations. I know when I joined Lumber jocks was already pretty well established, but when you joined, you must have felt like a Pioneer.

It’s guy’s like you that made this work back then, and continue to do so today.

so happy anniversary Mr. LumberJock!

Well Greg told me that he’d get lunch and I would get the tip. He then showed up back at the table and said that he left his wallet at home. So I had to buy Lunch also.

And Bubba you didn’t bother us at lunch.

I truly appreciate aall of the comments.

I had Chocalate Chip cookies instead of cake. But, the day is still young.

I remember what it was like back then Karson. How personal it was with Martin. I swear he must have thought I was a complete idiot. Maybe he wasn’t far off. His support, your support, Mark DeCous, Dick and Barb Cain, and all the other pioneers just made me feel like I was a part of a family, and let me not forget Ms Deb. Congrats “DaD. I hope you stay with us for as long as you like. You are the heart and soul of our family. mike

Karson, after reading many of your posts and watching you interact with other LJ’s I believe your nature has had a major influence on the mood and tone of this community. To me, you are the epitome of a Lumberjock and set the standard! Thanks for making this community enjoyable and relaxed for all woodworkers of any level. I had a Triple Venti Caramel Latte and a fudge brownie. This 2 lbs is for you Karson!

Congrats Karson, Thanks for the visit, the wood and Lunch. I was so embarrassed when I realized I had left home with out my wallet. (I could have crawled under the table at that point.) Yes, its true, Karson did drop off a few of the boards from his Gloat stash. But Please keep in mind that we often exchange wood. I have brought some of that nice 8/4 cherry I had picked up in TN. We did have a wonderful time, I wish it would have been longer, but alas, the Day job got in the way. I am hoping to get out to his place a few times this summer when the wife decides she wants to go the beach.

Karson, you have been a true guiding light on this site. You have willing shared your experience and wisdom with others expecting nothing in return. You have never bragged or passed judgment. In short you have been a true friend to all who have met you either online or in person. I personally would like to thank you and hope that our friendship continues well into the future. Thank you and God Bless.
