very high cool factor..........

[Matthew Schenker]

Monte,
That's some great work you're putting up here for us to see!  I wonder whether you'd be better off putting it in the "Projects" section?  That way, you could have a separate discussion for each project.  You could also be entered in the contest!

Matthew,

Thank you for your kind words.

At the moment I have one focus in this tread, afterwards .........I'd be happy to follow your suggestion.

So I'll keep lobbing them off the "high cool factor" deck in the meantime.

(in any event when I do, I have plenty of progress / production shots to make to make a silent film of each project,

which would better serve the community)

Oh, silent films...a new contest category?

I think monte may want everyone to know that though he has not posted a lot of pics in the past, 
he is a woodworker with skills and can represent for the Bridge City Jointmaker Pro trip.
And that his work really can incorporate the Jointmaker pro.

The pictures definitely show that, whether it was the intent or not.

Put them in  the project section and you may win one month!

Sweet work Monte!

I agree, and it has given me a little different perspective on the type of work Monte does.

As I see it right now, both Monte and Michael regularly do work that makes them perfect for reviewing a machine like the Jointmaker Pro. As for Bill, I think he has a lot on his plate right now, and may be too destracted (understandably so) to give this assignment his full attention.

.......thank you Nick & John
.......(now I have to go and figure out how to do  that, after getting this photo/ reduction/posting thing under my belt.)
.......(I might just save that till after next week ;D)

All I can say after seeing Monte's work is - wow. 

I think that the poll is a good idea.  I saw the tool, and although at this time it is not on my radar, I think it is very cool.  I would be very interested in a review by one of the members of the group.

Description just added to "Fireplace Photos" above..........

seeya around the next bend................ ;D

 

[Matthew Schenker]

...This seems like a good opportunity to use the "Post New Poll" feature, so that members can vote on the matter.  Perhaps Matthew might like to create the poll himself...

...I think that the poll is a good idea.

I can add a poll to a discussion, but I generally like to leave that up to the person who started (owns) the thread.  Since this is Monte's thread, it would be up to him.
Matthew

 

[nickao]

Yes, but Matthew in this case monte is up for the poll vote, so it may not be quite right for him to start the poll. Or he may just feel funny about starting a poll he wants everyone to vote for him in. Lets be honest, monte can taste this thing as indicated by his explosion of pictures and the like. He really wants to be the one, that is what I get from his posts. He may not want to jinx it by posting a poll that can go against him also. He is kind of between the rock and hard place we all hate to be in.

Oh my, 36 guests are viewing this right now.. Come on lurkers(guests) sign up right now after you read this, we want the guest input on this and other topics.

I agree.  It would be awkward for Monte to create a poll in this discussion.
Just wanted to clarify who has the decision-making power to create a poll in this case.
Matthew

 

[nickao]

Awkward is the word I was looking for, thanks.

 

[monte]

I concur..........very awkward.

Err, so if you "generally like to leave [creating a poll] up to the person who started (owns) the thread", and "since this is Monte's thread, it would be up to him", and "it would be awkward for Monte to create a poll in this discussion"...

...how about someone starting a new thread, with the sole purpose of creating a poll?

Forrest

 

[nickao]

Yeah just start the poll Forrest!

 

[tallgrass]

i like the fireplace ....i have more rail than you do :-[

 

[Per Swenson]

Allright,

I just looked at the poll page and there is a button that says

run the results of the poll only when it is expired.

That button is inactive. Matthew, turn that button on and I'll start a anonymous poll

right now. Whatcha think?

the ark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!fond memories,,,,,,still to check it out.......models look nice ;D

 

[danrush]

Enough already. 

All of the above mentioned candidates are qualified.  If it were possible we would send all ( or at least more than one).  Most have bowed out for various reasons.  One is lobbying to go.  Let's settle this, send Monte, and spend the next couple of days working on some questions and work related scenerios for Monte to play with on the machine.

no argument here.
