Buddy - Can you spare a Buddy?

Hopefully here at lumberjocks we are all buddies. If you have a question simply post it and anyone here would be happy to answer. If they don’t have the answer your question would in turn teach them. It’s a win win. There’s always going to be conflict, but when the topic is over we are all still lumberjocks, and all lumberjocks are my buddies.

Roger, the main purpose of the buddy list is to get a notice whenever someone on the list posts a project, forum/blog topic or workshop post. This is a convenient way to keep up with the activities of various members whose work/commentary that you have an interest in following. But the down side to this is those of us who are particularly active can generate a lot of e-mail notifications. But feel free to add anyone to your list. I feel it always is a compliment to be added to someone’s list.

if I can’t dazzle them with my brilliance, I baffle them with my bullshit!

I normally disqualify Texans from being on my buddy list, but I’ll make an exception since I see you are a transplant. :-)

Hi Buddies !! Thank you for desperately wanting to be my buddy – just goes to show how many disturbed people there are out there! I am in the market for more buddies as I understand that the rule is that new buddies have to send in a $5 fee + S/H, so I’m expecting the sent fees will help me get a few things!
OMG you think, what can of worms have I opened? Well seriously this is my weird humor showing, so just read it as such. People use humor as a shield or way to combat things you could spend your life worrying about. We all have our own “problems” and the best way to deal with them is to focus more on things that are OK and inject a little humor along the way.
I have prostate cancer and have to fight to stop it spreading, so I am on lots of meds that sometimes prevent me from doing anything. Woodworking is my therapy and even though I really don’t know much about it I do find it fills my time with a lot of satisfaction – yeah and even pride. There are tons of things I want to learn about: different woods, jigs, making joints and finishing to name a few, thus I can move forward.
Lately I have not made any items as I am working on making 2 mobile tool carts so I can roll them around the shop. When I get straight I will post some pics of my shop and tools. I have been very fortunate in getting tools together with retirement gifts and a small amount of savings I had – so I have blown my wad and what I have it IT.
I have tools I have never used, mainly because I don’t know how to use them and yes I’m a bit scared of them – which I believe is a healthy outlook.
Just to recap: I am originally from England and have lived in Texas since 1977. I came to the US accepting a teaching position in Engineering Drafting and Design and CAD at a Techical College which I did for 8 years. I became a US citizen and refer to myself as an Anglo-American – I just open my mouth and people know I’m not from here! I am married to a gem of a woman (took a lot to train her) who has nursed and looked after me and put up with me, we really do have a great relationship and I have managed to wean our diet off of chicken fried steak and beans and bring in roast beef and Yorkshire Pudding. Yeah I also drink hot tea with milk and sugar (in a china cup – it matters) and we have the best of both cultures in our world.
Of course my humor pops up everywhere and Texans think I am “strange” but harmless.
I really do appreciate all those that responded to my SOS. LJ’s is one of the better things in life and a place to interact with REAL people.
Best Regards,

sorry to hear about your prostate problem, hope all goes well with that. why did you have to mention yorkshire pudding? I haven’t had any for years, my grandfather was from England, that is where I learned of it.
oh man , now I am hungary.

I’ll be glad to be on your buddie list Roger. There’s a great list of the top craftsmen offering to help. I’m still working to get on that list. I’ll pray your recovery is a quick and complete one.
