I hear the trumpets blaring and see the flashing lights lighting the sky!!

just 40 days.. wow. No wonder I can’t keep up!

The word’s definitely out.

I can tell you why, coming from someone being new here. I have seldom been received so well into a group by perfect strangers. I wasn’t 1 hour on the sight and had several people welcoming me. When you post a project you get nothing but nice comments from people. I believe that means a lot to people as some are a little nervous to put themselves out there in fear of criticism, we all know how the internet can be. I’ve never met a woodworker I didn’t like and now I can say I have 8,000 woodworking friends even if I haven’t met you all. I will definitely tell everyone I can about L.J.”s . Martin if this was your idea you need to be thanked

I agree tinnman, it’s a refreshing change to some other sites I have been on.

It’s so fun to be popular! This is such an impressive site, it took me a while to re-visit after my initial registration, but I can’t seem to stay away now.

Thanks Martin, for all the great website maintenance and gizmos. Let’s have cake! Cake for Martin, cake for everyone!

Now, if only the stockmarket would follow suit . . . up, Up, UP!

Martin,

This site is awesome. I can’t believe how many projects are posted each day, how quickly people join. There is so much stuff to do here, so many things to follow, that it has become difficult just keeping up. I’m lovin’ it.

Thank you, Martin, for such a great idea while keeping the site upgraded, modern, techy, and CLEAN. And thank you, Jocks, for making this site what it is for everyone to enjoy.

There’s never a dull moment.

Thank You very much Martin.

Wow, that’s incredible!!! Is there any way to look up one’s number?

Hi rikkor, you can go back to the last page of Jocks, & count back.

It would be nice to have a number though.

Congratulations Martin on another milestone.

I have to agree with everyone here…........this is the best woodorking site I have been on and I have enjoyed it every minute I’ve been here. And I have learned a lot also even though I have been a woodworker and cabinetmaker for over 30 years off and on.

Thanks again Martin. My hat goes off to you and your team.

I’m looking to the next milestone.

At This rate, I’m predicting 15,00 by the end of the year, Of course with only 326 days I’m beginning to feel like an old timer. probably would be nice to know your number, just for ‘bragging rights’

Congratulations on this fantastic site.

Congratulations on the count. This is by far the most informative, professional site it’s been my pleasure to join. The amount of blogs, projects, and information is staggering. Thanks to you and all who share their experience with all things wood.

With the exception of the rare and recent scammer, the people on this forum are really friendly and helpful. Some forums absolutely reek and drip nastiness – but not here – this is a site where woodworkers of all skill levels can congregate and enjoy each other’s company.

I am continually amazed on the popularity of this site! When I joined there was like 400 guys here…now look! You’ve done very well Martin and I hope this site serves your family well too!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

I agree.. the word’s definitely out.

Thanks for all positive comments, folks.. but let me assure you that site would never be like this w/o all of you ;)

I’m catching this place on the upswing! I just joined earlier tonight, and I’m already in love. Martin, you’ve grown an amazing site here! My only disappointment so far is that I took until now to find it.
