I like this forum because you don?t have to be a master woodworker or expert scroller to feel as though you belong here. It doesn?t matter whether you?ve just completed your first project and decided to share it or you?ve been at this for 30 years. Everyone is treated with a level of respect and beginners are supported and given the encouragement they need to go back and start that second project. It?s refreshing to know that the more experienced people haven?t forgotten where they started. They know the difficulties everyone faces when they first begin and it?s made obvious by their willingness to help others.
This is a place where people from all over the world gather to share their thoughts and projects with others who share the same common interest. I can?t help but wonder if Steve knew the impact that creating this site would have on so many people. It doesn?t matter whether you?re young or old, dude or dudette or where you?re from. Steve has found the one common link that can bring people together?it?s called ?sawdust?. He may have just found the answer to world peace?Steve you?re a genius.

Hey Louis....Just wanted to put in my 2 cents. Everything you stated is absolutely true. THANK YOU STEVE.... Like another member always says.
YOU THE MAN. God Bless you Steve. Later.... Danny :+}

Here here!
-
I found this site about a week before I bought my scrollsaw nearly a year ago and I've been here at least twice a day ever since - even though there are no "dumb questions" I think I have pushed the envelope a couple times and have always found a helping hand - Thanks Steve
Pete

Unlike Pete, I've never pushed the envelope. But, like Louis, I love this place!
Bill
-
very true. There isn't a better place on the web to be. The people here are great, and so helpful!
Thanks Steve, and Everybody.
-
Just adding my amen to the list. Thanks Steve, may you be blessed!

I am raising my "beverage" in a toast to Steve, this forum, and all the great people here..."CHEERS" ;D
Nicely said Louis!
-
I can almost picture Steve standing there, head down, hands folded in front of him, kicking the sawdust and saying, "Ah, Shucks...I just did what I thought would help some folks!"
But he did a lot more than that!
And we all thank him profusely for his efforts!

My glass is raised to Steve and all here, Cheers! :D

I agree I have been here since buying my first saw (that peice of junk)but As I say You are the Man Steve but I was told once that there is more then just Steve here and so now I feel I need to change to You are the Men Steve and Russ without you we all would not have a place to go and "hang out"
So thank you both.
-
chapeau for Steve
-
Louis I could not have said it beter. This is the greatest place on the web. I check in several times a day just to see what's happening.

It's because of Steve, this website and his videos, that I got started in the hobby.

:DThis forum has turn an ugly,fat, lonely, pityful old widow women all alone out here in the desolation of the North Dakota prairie into the young, thin, vivacious, scrollsawer extrordinair with the greatest bunch of friends one could ever hope for. ;) THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!
-
The beginners who find this site have no idea how fortunate they are. My first contact with scrolling was in the 60's and back then found no references, so everything was done by trial and error (a lot of error). Steve and the members here have created a reference and family place that is top notch.
-
I agree with all these comments! A great place to make friends! Thanks Steve and Russ.
Judy you are a vision in saw dust! ;)
-
OMG Judy, does that mean I'm going to turn into Clark Gable??
Peaked at your photo at your website. You're definitely not ugly!
However the new feeling of self worth always makes us feel better
about ourselves!

I agree with everything that has been said. Only been Scrollsawing for less than a Year but have learnt so much on this Site.
The best is that all the Tips and hints are given free of Charge.
So a big thankyou to Steve and all of his merry Scrollsawers.

You all should be thanking yourselves. A forum without people is nothing but an empty journal. I made the journal but you all filled it up. I think what makes this forum special are the personalities of the core group of posters. I can't list you all but you know who you are. The maturity level of the people here is very high. I have seen many a forum die a fast death because of bickering and bullying. You all treat each other as extended friends. You treat everyone with respect and show a caring attitude for new members. That's really important.
Were lucky to have someone like Russ around to keep things running smooth. Like I have said before without Russ this forum would be a real challenge for me to keep up with. I actually don't think I could do it. Between my more than full time day job and the blog and my family there is not much time left in the day to manage the forum. I can't thank him enough.
This is the place where I break out the guitar and we all sing Kumbaya http://www.stevedgood.com/Kumbaya.mp3 (http://www.stevedgood.com/Kumbaya.mp3)

Well said Steve,Well said!!! :D
-
Someone pass the marshmellows and lets raise our glases to Steve and Russ thank you for keeping this forum running we couldn't be here without the both of you...
-
we're already start singing and no one started the fire..... :o
I have some designer firewood we can use ;)
-
Thanks Steve and Russ. But like Steve said, this forum wouldn't be the way it is without all of us taking part and giving our 2 cents. I just hope I can help others the way many of the group have helped me.
It's a great place to spend time...I find I am coming to the forum more times each day than the previous.
Thanks everyone.

Thank you!
Thank you for a place, that brings the right bunch of people together!
I find a lot of good, damn - fantastic! - projects in here. New ideas, answers to my questions and always a smile.
regards

I personally feel a bit ashamed in that I have not thanked Russ as often as I should.
Steve set up this Forum and chose a very good hearted and intelligent man in Russ to be the "Executive Officer"!
I also know from personal experience what it is like to be 'the one in charge' of a forum and I will be the first to tell everyone it is a very daunting task.
My sincere THANKS to Russ C. for being in the right place at the right time and STAYING here to be the one who takes the brunt of keeping 1,500 'kids' under control!

Who was it that said Steve didn't have a sense of humor? Your guitar was out of tune Steve. LOL
Just kidding.
This IS a great forum!
Gabby
-
and you don't sound like a Kentuckian when you sing either! LOL!
-
Yes, this is a great place to meet and share. I can't thank you ALL enough for all the hints, encouragement, humor and expertise you share. Also thank Grandpa for your wonderful patterns.
-
That's all I need is another reason to raise my glass!! LOL I am a first time forum user and I can't hardly break myself away long enough to turn on my saw :'( Really kidding! Love this site!
-
I'll raise a glass to anything, especially to this forum! ;D
-
It is so nice that whatever you want to know about is just a click away from being newly gained knowledge. Thanks to you all, keep it coming....
Bruce ;D

Got around to this a little later and almost everything has been said--I for one feel quite at home here and enjoy all the input from fellow scrollers--Thanks to everyone here making my day brighter--even when I'm depressed--Richard aka thumbs ;D :) ;) :D >:( :( :o 8) ??? ::) :P :-[ :-X :-\ :-* :'(

A gratitude of thanks to both Steve and Russ for making this a great place to meet and discuss our scrollsaw creations and failures. I especially want to thank every member of our extended family on this forum for the wealth of information they are unselfishly willing to share and for the respect and understanding they display every day. I am deeply proud to be a member of this fine group.
