One year already? #1: Man, I'm getting old.

no previous part Part 1 of One year already? series no next part

I just noticed today is one year since I joined LJ’s. Time really flies.

I thought I was making a lot of posts, until I noticed Gary has been a member a little longer than I have, but has out posted me by about 8:1. I wonder if he ever sleeps.

In the past few months the site has grown to the point there’s a whole new crowd of people to get to know and learn from. (Lord knows I need that).

I have to say I’ve learned a lot from everyone, and became friends with many of you.

I’ve had two picnics where I’ve had the pleasure of hosting a few great people in my shop, which I enjoyed immensely. (I have some pictures to post from this years picnic, which took place on the 21st of June). If you’ve considered hosting one, I do recommend it.

Well anyway, it’s been great getting to know the people I do, and I’m looking forward to getting to know the rest of you!

Thanks;

Lee

I’m with Lew, I’ve learned a bunch reading your posts, much appreciated. I got here all of ten days before you and remember being blown away by your work, so here’s to another project packed year :)

I think I can speak for many LJ’s here when I say we appreciate the post you’ve made and learning your way of doing things, some things we never even thought of. Thanks for being a part of this site.

Lee,

Congrats on the first anniversary. It is always good to see your posts on here. This has been an interesting year to say the least.

Good one Lee. I have learned a good deal from you. I just cannot keep up with the site, it all moves so quickly. I have been having some physical problems the last couple of months, so that has been slowing me down somewhat. Keep posting and I’ll keep learning.
THANKS!

This site is unique isn’t it. Does have a family feel, a little dysfunctional around dinner once in awhile but that is just part of being a family I think. Congratulations on the first year, you really have shared a great deal and that has taken alot of work.

Hi Harold;

Thank you!

Agreed on all the points above. I have spent a fair amount of time here and my website, with the very reason you mention in your signature line.

I have a friend that is a professional finisher. When I tried to get him to write some articles in finishing he agreed to. After a year of not producing anything, I questioned him about it.

His response to me was he didn’t want to give away “his” secrets. While he’s a great guy most of the time, I was really surprised by this.

He didn’t discover these secrets, nor would he be shot for disclosing them. (unless there’s a secret finisher’s mafia that frowns on disclosing information).

After having written that, I realized he was a magician in an earlier time in his life. Now I understand where that came from. Those guys don’t clown around.lol

Thanks again;
Lee

Lee you were already old before you joined LumberJocks. It’s only one year older. But smarter now.

Hi RTB.

I think I love you .LOL

That is quite a complimentary review of me efforts in being a good lumber jock citizen.

If you have no obyections to it I would like to use you comments as a testimonial in my up coming book” How To Make Cabinet Doors”

And if anyone else would like to make up anything nice, I would appreciate the ability to add it too as a testimonial.

This book is expected to be completed in the next few weeks,and promisrs to make even me a professional door maker. If that’s what you desire.

Thank you;
