I had the date marked on my calendar. I figured that it the 25th with a leap year thrown in to the calculation.

Hi Ms. Debbie;

Martin has accomplished some amazing things here, in a relatively short period of time. He has created, and continues to “tweak” the already finest woodworking forum I have encountered.

I have missed you on this site, and hope all is going well for you.

Three years and still going strong.Congratulations Martin.

Hope you are going to do another dance, MsDebbie!!!

I can’t believe this site is almost 3 years old and I just found it about 6 months ago. We have to have a huge celebration but how? Ms.Debbie got any ideas?

Thanks Martin for one heck of a woodworking community. You have done very well my friend.

-- Jerry--A man can never have enough tools or clamps

yup.. it’s Feb 26. aaand I almost forgot ha ;)

We should do something special to celebrate this healthy 3yrs young baby… some ideas:

• each LJ posts a nice how-to/tutorial about his favorite topic
• each LJ posts a review of his most used tool
• each LJ donates a few bucks

Good try… I know ;)
Any other ideas?

-- Martin, http://lumberjocks.com | My Facebook: http://profile.to/msojka

I’m up for charlie’s idea lol…..... but on a serious note a huge thank you martin i’v been here nearly a year now and i think this is just the best site on the web and i think that 8000 other LJ’s would agree with me

andy

-- cut it saw it scrap it

Well I guess I can pay for my own coffee and bagle with cream cheese. And then I can send the money to Martin. That way we can keep this great site glowing and growing.

Lee… i just can’t keep up with it all :)

Happy Dance. hmmm let me think about that.. ah. No. lol

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

I think Martin should buy us all 30” drum sanders. (I’m sure they are cheaper in bulk)... It would be like a “woodworker stimulus package”.... LOL

Happy birthday to UUUUUUSSS haaaaapy birthdayyy to Ussssss.Alistair

-- excuse my typing as I have a form of parkinsons disease

Hey Steve, I like that idea….....................LOL

-- Jerry--A man can never have enough tools or clamps

isn’t usually the birthday/anniversary person RECEIVES the gifts???? lol

we could buy Martin a tool and maybe he’d post his very own woodworking project!

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

And many more!

Martin do you have a physical address?

3 days until our Anniversary event (do we have an event??)

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Awesome…

A toast, for one more year going stronger.

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

the traditional gift for a 3rd anniversary is leather.
We should start a challenge where LJ’s build something and incorporates leather into the design.

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

MDP. I think that you may be stretching things a bit BUT A great big verbal birthday card to the site, and congrats to Martin for starting and maintaing such a wonderful site and also to all of use who respect the posting rules and work to keep this site a quality place to visit.

-- RTB. "dumb animals are not stupid they simply can't talk "

stretched leather… hmmmm ;)

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

MsDebbieP- a project contest with leather is a very good idea…

Debbie: You suggest that just when Thos is leaving. Your just bad.

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

me? Bad?
I’m sure that he has lots of projects that we haven’t seen yet that he can use… or he can just be our inspiration!!
I thought of him as soon as I read the list and saw “leather” for the 3rd anniversary.

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Have we gone from Lumber Jocks to Leather Heads?

I like the idea of a review of your favourite tool.

-- ...it's rennovation time!!!

2 days.

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Did I read this thread right? MsDebbieP is going to dance at the celebration while wearing stretched leather?

Wow!~Talk about a celebration…

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Joe- LOL!!!!!

Watch out MsDebbieP… they’ll be asking for another happy dance video before long…

-- As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17) †

ok. I’ve re-read the comments several times and I didn’t see anything about stretched leather and dancing!! lol

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Well I can easily say so far that this is my most frequented woodworking forum, it flows nice, good layout. Good job Martin, and congradulations. A few bucks ? Whitetail or Muley ?

How about free T-shirts for everybody…No, wait. 8000 members at $$ per shirt…you’re gonna need a federal bailout!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

My wife made the cake, there should be enough to go around.

Happy Birthday, LJ! And thanks again, Martin, for creating us a great home. I’m glad I just recently signed up so I could be here for this.

I think I’m going to have to celebrate with a box of Titebond III-filled walnut & maple donuts.
