I belong to other woodworking sites also and check in on them daily, but this forum has, by far, the friendliest members that participate. I have acquired new friends and exchange emails with several people from other countries, as well as members from other states, within the USA.
I work mainly on Intarsias and can't seem to get very many interested in trying their hand in them, however, I enjoy, very much, reading and seeing what others are working on.
The question was: What would you do? I think Gary said it best, I also would feel a great void in my life if Steve would to shut down this forum. I would miss it very much!!!!
