This forum is awesome.

I have not seen nor heard any negativity here on this forum at all except for a couple outlyers. It's incredible how a bunch of folks can get along so well here.

I have been a member of other forums, and you cannot get away from the occasional arguments, or even daily arguments, hurtful critiques of others work (constructive critique is fine) just to be hurtful and personal attacks and more.

I have been contacted by members and they have told me how they feel so comfortable here, that they can post anything they build without feeling they are going to get jumped on or criticized.

In other words, we managed to create and maintain a very positive woodworking community and it's all on you folks! Great job, take a bow!

Low, and from the waist.

I used to visit several woodworking related forums and quit due to all the drama one encountered. 

Due to the quirkyness of the machine, (and the owners) I still surf over to the Shopsmith forum.  And, I enjoy Lumberjocks, too. But TPW is a haven of sanity and my home. Thanks John!

Gene - It's people like ALL of us that make it possible.  As a former forum host, I would just like to see 500 active posters.  But then, how would we be able to keep up with all the stuff going on.  Wouldn't be able to make is sawdust that way - too busy on the forum.

Anyway - thanks to ALL of us (huge applause going on here)

No insurance yet John! Give us a few more years and we'll have a benefits package though that may consist of bumper stickers and hats!

A patch would be cool too !!!
