I'm with Scott on this. I wouldn't be half as far as I am without the guidance of some of these masters and journeymen that have taken the time to answer questions and give feedback.
Yep - thanks from me too - I always get quick thoughtful help anytime I ask for it. You guys are great.
Big thank you from me as well, there is a treasure trove of information available already on the many different threads and some of the most talented and humble smith's from around the globe ready and available to help us all overcome any new challenges.
