I know we all help bring folks along, and heck we all learn something new from each other on a daily basis.

It has occurred to me that a wellspring of knowledge and tutorials like the ones we share here, is no little matter.

To read these posts and comments, folks are doing the very best they can, with what they have to work with.
Often times Money and finances can shut it down before it all gets started.

the lessons learned and the teachings here are of great, great value...literally.
If a fellow wanted to learn these type of things and didn't have this resource,
then it's something that's gonna cost you money...  ::)

I personally want to say thank you, to all of those folks out there, that makes this what it is..I don't take it lightly...

You are the very best that "America" has to offer in my book...heck if it all shut down tomorrow, guys that show up here, would be the ones that everyone else would need to turn to.... 8)

Thanks to all of my forum friends, wherever you are, whoever you may be, and for everything that you do.
I only have one regret, and that's, that I can't shake your hand in person...(not in less you live around the Houston area..)

God Bless you all.... :)

Hank,
I have said it time and time again, This is Family!! i know it is a shame that we can't get togher and meet, I tried to arrang a meeting, but we are all to spread a part! It would do my heart good, to sit down and meet everyone! But that isn't going to happen, unless I would win a Monster Lottery, and then I would pay for everyone to fly and stay somewhere in the middle!
but if you think about it! We have our forum, and the pm system, which allows us to talk to each other if we need to disscuss a private matter!
hank, my best friend in the world, I have never meet, and that is my mentor TW, we allways talk allmost every weekend on the phone, he has taught me so much!! Plus so many others on here!
I couldn't be doing leather work if it wasn't for this forum!
Take care Pards!

Howdy Hank.

Thank you for posting this. You sure hit the nail on the head. This is a great forum with great people!
You need to learn to like all the little everday things like a sip of good whiskey, a soft bed, a glass of buttermilk,  and a feisty old gentleman like myself

  Hank, you couldn't have said it better. When I found this forum I was inspired to return to something I love after 25 years. Words can not express what I feel for all the folks here. They gave me back my soul.
