My issues simply collect...love to see them, but rarely use them so much I'd miss one. Not sure the best way to get in contact with you without broadcasting my info to the world. Let me know if you have an idea...the issue is yours for the postage.

What a wonderful human being you are.
Much Aroha be unto you.
Hi Steve,
I’m genuinely touched and very happy at your offer,I accept it,I’ll be forwarding my adress.
Thank you
If you guys both go to the contact form of the website on my profile and ask me to put you in touch in the comments box I'll hook you up.
Thank you MJ,it’s appreciated
Sorry, but I wouldn't give my email to someone marketing their product on a forum.
Not marketing here, just offering to help as I have been for years, but to each his own.
Thanks MJ. Check your in box....RobertE :I've taken much greater risks just getting out of bed in the AM
Got it. Waiting on the OP.
Done, good luck Gents.
I will be marketing my new woodworker dating service here soon!
That's . . . terrifying.
Indeed. I have considered whether it is likely that two woodworkers would get along long term.
I have noticed that stable relationships very rarely form between people of the same personality type, and also that almost all woodworkers are Driver type personalities.
This means that even if you could find a woodworker of a compatible gender, they are not that likely to be a compatible personality.
It seems that as a breed we may well be doomed to be misunderstood by our significant others.
Many times toleration is preferable to understanding.
But to truly tolerate it, you have to know what it is your tolerating. Otherwise, you're just uninterested. (Or maybe disinterested).
Alternatively, it's possible to invent features of The Others that are intolerable - even if they don't really have those features. Then we can have-at 'em, the rascals, no matter their protestations (or even evidence) of innocence!
And then again .... we can tolerate the not-understood doings of others, right up until they rob, enslave or murder us.
Lataxe, willing to date any woodworker with more tools than me, intolerable or otherwise. :-)
I think two woodworkers would get along just cherry, and likely pine for each other when apart.
I'm gonna go hide under my bench now...
But, but, but .... MJ - I was going to ask you out on a date!
I feel you may have more tools than moi, so have devised a cunning plan (I mean a good reason) for you to "lend" me those tools of yours that you use less than once a month. I will test them for you and make a report about how good or bad they are .....
They're likely to be bad, of course, which means you might as well leave them all with me.
Mind, I believe that The Powers That Be have issued a decree preventing any travel over the various borders, in case of lurgy-transmission. I only wish they'd do it with the memetic lurgies as well as the genetic ones.
Some of those Yank car & gun movies are toxic! Worse than the cowboys & injuns ones!! And I'm sure some of your billionaires have got some queer ideas from that Downton Abbey that are making a mess of your supposedly classless society (if we can still call it one). :-)
Lataxe, yanking on your leg with a tease-rope.
date, plan, odd ideas, tease, yank, rope?!?!
I'm staying under the bench.
Rob suggested: "It seems that as a breed we may well be doomed to be misunderstood by our significant others."
No such misunderstanding at my house. My wife understand perfectly when I say, "Honey, I'm going to the shop." Then again, I understand as well when she says, "Good AND don"t forget to finish that picture frame."
BTW: MJ's matchmaking was quick and painless.....no fee involved.
I think somebody is off his medications.
Well .... my (??) own feeling is that far too many lads are on the drugs in the first place. I have examined a large sample and found the fundamental problems is this: they have lived a life of self-abuse, self-neglect and self-indulgence.
As you will have noticed, the common theme is "self". What is this thing? Some clever folk have investigated and discovered there is no singular self! There are several in any human, many of which are invisible to the others!! Gawd!!!!
Sometimes one pretends it is the only self but this leads to confused behaviour, especially when the memetics come into the picture and begin suborning the various secretive selves with their often weird propositions and suggestions.
Those infected run about doing various harms to the human containers of other memeplexes inimical to the ones they themselves are hosting. Before you know it there is a Spanish Inquisition or The Red & Blue Klown Show.
But you will know all this already if you abide in that queer place called the USA. Or anywhere else besides The North Pole. :-)
*****
I believe the drug-peddling quacks will prescribe many drugs designed to keep the battling inner selves in a quiescent condition. The problem is that everything gets a bit ossified, especially the attitudes. Folk start talking about "what is normal".
And the drug bills .... nothing left for even a cheap router bit. :-)
Lataxe, a hodge-podge of personality disorders.
Just a big thank you to Steve for sending me the copy I missed.
It’ll be paid forward.
👍🏼
