Hi everyone,
Just wanted to give my many thanks to everybody that has responded to my posts as well as to give a thumbs up to ffw for making this whole forum available I am stunned and shocked (pleasantly) by the amount of support and information I was beginning to think that I was the only woodworker left I’m really glad I’ve found the knots discussion

yep, let me add my appreciation too - these forums are a great thing.
Hey big, You are absolutely right Considering the limited amount of spare time most people have nowadays, Knots forum contributors are
a rare breed. Not too many years ago craftsmen were wary of giving out any and all their secrets.
I must confess that I was one of them myself. The work I did was very competitive and there's always someone out to get your job or customer.
Whenever I found someone too curious about how I picked locks or fitted keys ,or asked," What THAT strange looking tool was," I would change the conversation or otherwise shield the operation from view.
Now that I've retired, I think of all the 'pros' I'd known who taught me many useful things.
I encourage newbies to ask all the questions they want That's the way I did it. I really enjoy helping anyone new to WWing and especially when I get a bit of appreciation now and then.
Steinmetz.
