(At the risk of sounding corny/naive/Gomer Pyle-ish): Just a quick comment on what I've found to be the nature of a vast majority of woodworkers (of course there are always exceptions, as in any group). They seem to be such a kind bunch of people, happy to share their woodworking knowledge. Without fail, every single famous woodworker to whom I have written—folks who write ww books, are contributing editors to ww magazines, and in one case, has his own ww show—have all written back, often within minutes of receiving my email, and have been eager to help.
I'm not sure if it's a particular personality type that is drawn to woodworking or if it's woodworking that brings out these traits in people. Nonetheless, it's a great community of which to be a part.

Just good ol' fashioned salt of the earth kind of people perhaps!
Soooo what!
Fruit loop
Shazza, I agree with you!
Mom, am I going to have to put a "block" on your comments? Hmmm?
LMAO! Mom's a whoot!!!
I don't know...it's pretty bad when your own mother heckles your blog!
What the heck is LAMO? I'm lining up my blog about when I was in the Russian circus. Just came across some tassels and loops.
( Oh, sorry...guess that would be me!!)
And don't use the word MOM. Isn't this supposed to annoy-mouse! Never can be too careful. FL
Annoy-mouse. That might be a more accurate nom de plume for you, Fruit Loop. ; )
LMAO = laugh my arse off.
WW folks being nice: Particularly folks who incorporate some hand tools -- gotta be patient, observant, etc. Probably laid-back to a certain extent (tolerant of honest mistakes), as well. ;)
I've heard that gardeners are good at maintaining long-term romantic relationships: same traits -- nurturing, patience, thinking long-term.
