What has the UBeaut Bulletin Board Done for you?
The UBeaut Bulletin Board has helped me in my woodwork significantly and is a valuable resource. What benefits have others experienced?

It has also introduced me, both online and in person, to the greatest bunch of bastards a bloke would be lucky to meet in a lifetime. There's too many of you to name but thank you all for making my life a little bit richer.
Sincere thanks to you all.

Zenwood,
Where have you been?
Foileys are foil hats we wear to stop the aliens stealing our thoughts and influencing our thinking. There are many references to them on the BB and even the UBeaut hat comes with a foiley option

Since joining the forums thanks to Reeves, I have finally found a group of people as wood-mad as myself, with whom I can talk wood till the cows come home as well as many other interesting topics and tom-foolery and the eyes/ears don't glaze over within 1 minute of mentioning the word 'wood'. I've even ventured beyond the backyard workshop to Maleny, Brisbane and Currumbin, visited a fellow-forum member's shed and finally made contact with other fellow female wood workers. I no longer feel like I'm an oddity, but an accepted fellow-forum member of the wood-working variety.So as far as I'm concerned, I'm Home!!!!!!
cheers

What Bill said.
Plus has also been an endless source of information on many subjects.
Not all of them woodwork related either
Cheers

Ditto to what Wood Borer, Termite & Craig - but also helps me take my wood work seriously but not too seriously - you know, get to see the lighter side (and dark side)
If I do not clearly express what I mean, it is either for the reason that having no conversational powers, I cannot express what I mean, or that having no meaning, I do not mean what I fail to express. Which, to the best of my belief, is not the case.

On foileys: only ever seen them on "Signs" (but then I'm just a newbie here). You dudes actually wore these? Who are you guys? (I can't talk though: I wear a beret)
Anyone want my pancake recipe? Takes 5 mins if that, is scalable for different numbers of breakfast-eaters, and satisfies all takers.Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

1. Decreased my work productivity by about 20%.
2. Deprived my wallet of it's excess funds.
3. Caused me to wonder at the silliness of so many others.
Oh, and the other stuff that you other guys said too."I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."

Bit of a lopsided poll this one isn't it? Everone seems to have the same sentiments that have so ably been previously expressed by everyone else.
What more is there to say?

I have found that through this forum I can be part of a like-minded woodworking community, which would otherwise be hard to achieve, since I do not live in a capital city; woodworkers in my locality seem to be solely engaged in wood-turning, which is not my interest. But through this forum I have been able to meet up with about a dozen forum members, some of whom, like MajorPanic, Aussieglen, and others, have awesome skills that I can only envy.
I think I learn something new from the forum almost daily, and I suppose I must spend at least an hour a day perusing the threads. It has made a big difference to my life, and I am very grateful for its existence.
