I follow a woodworking site called
www.woodnet.net and
www.bt3central.com. Sites like this one and the woodworking sites are the reason that the internet is so powerful a tool. It's people helping people. Sharing information so that evryone benefits.
They share information and help people just to help them. We were all newbies once. Once another newbie asks you a question and you can help them in some manner,(you can skin a cat in more than one way) you are getting them from a point where you once were. A rookie.
We were all rookies once. I remember once when I couldnt get a 1/2 blind dovetail to work while I was working with stock that was 7/16 inch thick?
Took me a while but I smiled and laughed at myself after I figured it out.
You can either learn from your mistakes or from you mentors. I would rather learn from a mentor, but I also learn the hard way from my mistakes more than I would like to admit.
