Popular Post John Morris Posted February 18, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 It's been awhile since we asked, but is everyone ok here? Are you all happy with our digs? Is there anything you'd like to see more of? Is there anything you'd like to see less of? Are you comfortable here? Are there any features that are missing here that you like about other forums? Thanks folks! HARO50, JimM, lew and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Al B Posted February 18, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Couldn't be happier John. I was called to the personnel office years before my retirement. They told me I seemed unhappy. Told them I was very happy, but when I saw something happening I didn't like, I made it a point to let them know about it. They not only let me stay, but in my last years I asked to have my hours cut to 4 days a week. They not only said yes, but they continued to give me full benefits, paid holidays, vacations health ins. and salary increases. It probably helped that I was good at my job and helped to train several of their new welding hires. Most had no previous experience welding aluminum and 95% of our work was aluminum welding. Never been called to the office here. Cal, Gunny, John Morris and 7 others 5 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kmealy Posted February 19, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 I recently "unfollowed" a facebook group on woodworking. It seemed like most of the posts fell into three categories 1. What wood is this? 2. I found this power tool on {Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace}, is it a good deal? 3. Thanks for the add. Despite the love/hatred for {Craftsman, Festool, Corded/battery} tools, the discussion was enjoyed, all is good. On a lighter note, February and March is making season for skunks here in Ohio. Males will travel several miles in search of a female. They are likely to be found in your yard or crossing the road at night. We have a lot of skunks here.

Popular Post FlGatorwood Posted February 19, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 As some others have so well said, I love it here. Great people, great humor, a wide variety of projects and shop tools. Also, there is a lot of support when you post something to show what you learned by doing a project. I also like the weekend threads and Lew's Wednesday threads. I wish I had more time to spend here. I have really enjoyed learning things I never thought of or seen before. I do browse Shopsmith forums, but no comments there. I prefer a positive place. Al B, Artie, John Morris and 5 others 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
