Hi Martin;

What kind of wood is that cake? You better keep the candles from burning down too far.

Happy birthday to LJ’s and congratulations to Martin.

If it weren’t for him, I would have far fewer friends, most of whom aren’t sure of which end of a hammer to use, or even care for that matter.

I have enjoyed this site very much, and would feel a piece of me is missing if it were to go away.

p.s. I forgot to mention I accept donations too. LOL

Happy Birthday to us all, and I’ll jump on that donation wagon with LJ and Lee … ;)

As far as the reviews go – I really think people should write REVIEWS of how the tools perform, I see too many reviews that are 2 lines long saying “I got this at the store yesterday cause it was on sale, and I love it” ... great… what does that even mean (in regards to the tool)?!? But I do agree that we should get more reviews going, there are a vast amount of tools/materials/resources that we all would like to use, and could use some reviews good/bad to help us make decisions.

-- When in doubt - There is no doubt - Go the safer route.

Congratulations Martin. I hang out here at least a little, nearly every day, and I’ve learned so much from all the ‘Jocks. Many more!

Happy B-day LJ! I haven’t quite been here a year, but it’s a regular part of my life, and enjoy it a great deal! I’ll donate as soon as I am not so dirt poor that I don’t require donations myself!

Thanks, Martin!!

Happy Birthday and a great big thank you to Martin for bringing us all together.

Congratulations on the anniversery. I fondly remember the early days.

Thank You, Martin, and all the best for the future!! You’ve done a great thing here, joining people with a common interest. Though other places try, I believe this to be the one place where even those who disagree do so civilly, without the name calling and childishness that is so prevalent everywhere else. A day doesn’t go by that I don’t come here to see what the all the boys and girls are up to! What we do is solitary and isolated work and it is wonderful to be able to share our successes (and mistakes!) with over 8000 of our closest friends! Thanks again, congratulations, and may God Bless You!! Michael C.

Martin, thanks for all of your hard work. It amazes me how you continue to find ways to improve and build the website. LJ definitely has the most user-friendly layout which makes it a joy to use.

I think that I will be busy adding extra photos to my projects!

Balloons? Cake? Candy? What do 3 year olds do at their birthdays??? Pin the tail on an LJ?

Grats Martin and to all…If you have not had a chance to donate in the past it is a great way to feel like a contributor…times are tough…that is why I always appreciate Martin’s humble “no pressure” approach to donations…

May we continue to grow into old age together—-of course most of you are already old…so I meant “we” as in LJ’s and me…no offense…anyone have some preparation H?

-- Matt, Napa, CA...fun is beautiful...just trying to have some fun...

Martin I remember the early days when there were maybe 4 or 5 of us on-line at the same time. Someone would post a comment and then someone else would post a comment. We didn’t have messaging then so the comments on the projects were the only way to communicate.

Then along came blogs and the fun really started. But it was the first contest on lJ’s that really got the participants fired up. I know it did me.

The support that you received from the other jocks and jockettes were what kept you going. No one likes talking to a blank wall. We got support here that we may never have got at home. We made friends with people of an “in kind mind”. Someone who loved the smell of woods and finishes.

We were home again.

Thanks for being our support system.

May you and your new wife enjoy the fruits of your talents and skills. I know I do and I appreciate your hard work.

-- Matt, Napa, CA...fun is beautiful...just trying to have some fun...

LOL Matt.. quite close ;)

Dick, adding more pictures to all your projects would take some time for sure. Anyways it’s great to see more and more projects with 6 pictures coming.

Thanks for all the wishes!

Thanks Martin and to everybody! I know I am soooo glad I found LJ’s!

Great job Martin. This site RoCkS..:)
6 pictures was a good idea. I’ll be taking advantage of that.
Now what we need is a combined effort for everyone to share the word.
8000 plus members is good but I think adding another zero to that is very attainable.
I pledge to get three new members.
Thanks again for this site.

Happy Number 3
