    FHC has become an educational site with great people sharing what they have learned over the years. School was never this fun, so thanks for all the great teachers (members) here who are willing to share their knowledge.:coffee::salute::yes:

    How many members now guys? Years? 5?

    I haven't been on my laptop in some time. These cell phones don't give us as good a viewpoint.

    Ok, a few of you. Nevertheless....

    I thought I was the only one, ok, there might be a few others, that was crazy enough to say that I looked at my wood as a hobby. But then I found you all. Since then I've found a home and made some great friends! Thanks to you Scotty Overkill and Grizzly Adam and all the mods for starting this site, and all the time and effort to keep it going! :salute:

    I thought I knew pretty much everything about wood burning. Since then I have become educated about " Thongy Thingys" Who knew that such a topic existed? We have all had quite a few laughs over the years haven't we. :eek: :rofl: :lol: :thumbs:

    This is quite a place everyone has contributed to in their own way. Steady as she goes and keep up this awesome site!

    I've met a few members and they are all good people in my book. I hope to meet more.

    Good point Jon. I too have been fortunate enough to have met many of the members on this forum, including you! I'm not sure how many I've met but it has to be 40-50 or thereabouts. All great people too.
