September 16, 20178 yr Popular Post comment_124851 TPW forum contributors are a great bunch of folks with a wealth of freely shared knowledge, from which I've greatly benefited. However, as most of us do, I participate in a few other forums, too. Recently, I encountered a perplexing problem that I posed to one of those forums. And, I promised to "sing the praises far and wide" of whomever could help me solve my dilemma. I should have known that the guy who gave me the info I needed would be one of our own. So Stick, your invaluable assistance is greatly appreciated. A big THANK YOU!. This is a promise I'm very happy to keep. Report
September 16, 20178 yr comment_124853 Stick's the man, he is my favorite source for information. My computer is bulging with all of his reference posts that I have been saving in a Woodworking file. The info has saved me many times and continues to expand. Report
September 16, 20178 yr comment_124856 Stick not only has a woodworking knowledge data bank second to none, but has computer savvy that is out of reach by many. He has saved my computer many times and has it running fast and smooth helping me clean up and remove the junk that slows it down and causes me unending frustrations. I am a big fan of his.

September 17, 20178 yr comment_124925 What amazed me Gene was how everyone kept telling you how to make a template and nobody addressed the original question that you asked about determining the bushing offset (another reason I don't post there anymore). How poor are some peoples reading comprehension skills? It is amazing! I don't know if they just don't comprehend the question, or post just to post and feed their egos without knowing the answer. I was about to PM you when Stick posted the information. Leave it to him to come through. His PDF library is extraordinary. If he doesn't have the information/answer then there may not be an easy answer. I have downloaded and archived almost every PDF he has published on this (and the other) forum over the years. They are a constant reference library for me. I found it amazing that he took the time to provide the PDF's and VERY few people even bothered to read them, let alone save them for future reference. When I first came over to this forum I suggested to John that we might consider a reference library of informational PDF's. However, I think it fell by the wayside due to storage capacity of the forum servers. I upgraded my hard drive to a 1TB to provide adequate storage without the need for an external back-up drive. Anyway, glad you ended up with the original question being answered. Yes, Stick IS the man! Report
September 17, 20178 yr Author comment_124931 Ah shucks, Bill. They at least responded and, they meant well. Stick took the time to pick out some relevant material and, sent me some great info. I've yet to go through all that he has available. But, I will. Report

It is for what I have...I know you have terabytes of info, but some of it, like the CAD cut sheets, I would probably never use. All of the PDF's have been useful in one way or another...even if it just adds to the internal hard drive in my head. Report

Anyone can upload their files to share with the rest of the world, Stick can easily upload all the files he wants to our files sharing department without our assistance. It can't get any easier than that! In other words, it's all on Stick whether or not he wants to part with his files library. Just go to http://thepatriotwoodworker.com/files/ and upload to your hearts content, if there is a missing category for specific files, we can create it. Just keep in mind, files must not be copyright, if they are, you'll need permission from the original creator of said file to share on this "open source" community. Report
