I couldn’t have said it better, Buckskin. Those are the same reasons I’ve stayed. This is an impressive bunch of woodworkers, but a more impressive group of human beings. I’ve often said that Lumberjocks has a conspicuous absence of knuckleheads. I’m glad you feel as welcome as I do.

Cheers!

Some of us knuckleheads just havn’t had the time to be more involved…darn it! But we will be heard!!!! Glad to see you here Buckskin.

Buck, You said it all. There seems to be a sense of brotherly love that pervades this site. The prevalent thought here seems to be how can I help the other person. Believe me, it is a breathe of fresh air. I think it works because none of us wants it to go away. Buck, it’s been a pleasure getting to know you and your work.I sincerely hope we can keep it up for a long time.

And Dennis, if you’re the biggest knucklehead I ever have to deal with life will be a pleasure indeed. Best Wishs for many more,
Tom

every day I am touched by the writings of the members – the support given (re: woodworking and re: life issues) is amazing.

Good morning Buckskin,

Reading your post was a great way to start the day. We are all certainly a lucky bunch – having found something that we enjoy and which takes us away from the usual cares of our jobs and other day to day concerns. Many people never find their “safe harbor” so to speak, be it woodworking, or anything else for that matter.

Buck, you hit the nail on the proverbial head. I guess I’ve been helped keep somewhat sane with the help of all the men and women ( who get me all mushy) as you know. But it’s that unspeakable trust and caring and love that you don’t ask for but is just there, that is so heartfelt and permeates this site. It is unusual and out of the norm of regular blog sites. We care about one another and it’s real, not phony or superficial but deep and compationate and genuine and real. Truly amazing. mike

I love the term knucklehead, I can see Moe looking at Curly when I hear that every time :)

Soon after I joined this site..I felt like I was not worthy in skill to post my projects after seeing the level of craftsmanship displayed by many if the members here. But I keep trying to get better and the journey is fun. I feel honored just to be involved. I wish I had more to offer.
