Appreciating This Forum

[Gene Howe]

This is a great forum. One can meets such great people here, some in person, even. And, the Shopsmith knowledge base is fantastic.
When I first joined there seemed to be more projects posted than now. It would be nice to see a few more.

Francis, this has to be your shortest post.

EVER!

Now, I have a short name here. It's the one I use almost everywhere, and is the first 4 letters of my last name.

Truth be known, there have been a few shorter ones!;)

Dang few.

BUT, I appreciate Francis's posts. He's got the wisdom of age..

(Funny, I've got the age, but am lacking the wisdom.)

While I do wish that this forum was a bit more restrictive on what gets posted, I do very much appreciate this forum and the members who hang here.

(knock on wood)

I agree; as someone who stills considers himself new to the shopsmith Mark V, the invaluable information and support I have found from the members of the forums here has been very much appreciated. Just the simple act of pointing me in the right direction regarding manuals, procedures, and "how to do this or that" has been a great benefit to someone who does not know anyone locally who has a shopsmith.

So to everyone on here I say "Thank You". I hope that as time passes I will be able to pass on my own shopsmith experiences, tips, and tricks to other new Mark V users.

I have found that my own missteps have provided my most valuable learning experiences. Unfortunately, they have also provided some significant cost factorss.

Was on this forum a couple of years ago, got off into other things, but now back. Problem is: this forum has not really changed, except for the Administrative part. Had to re-list, and give my address, etc, and it was over a non-secure line! Am amazed, and I can't use my old name, Len, or email address as it is already "registered". Gadz.
Take a nap and all is different again!
But it still looks to be a great bunch of guys who KNOW SS is a about the greatest machine around for what we love doing. So much so, I've went out and made a shorty. Except I should have made it one inch longer, then I could run my saw! Next time. Going to go eat and make more sawdust!

I too very much appreciate all the help and direction on this forum, and while I can't be on everyday, I do like to use it as my morning paper so to speak. Its like an interactive SS manual.
Thanks to everyone for your help.
