A friend kept sending me posts from another forum. Not mentioning where. It's a woodworking forum. I have been a member of some other ww forums for many, many years. But he kept saying I needed to get on this, that I can share, and bring some good info. I view it more of young group of 20 and 30 somethings.
Well I have been banned after a few posts.
Someone mentioned that pine was a difficult wood to work (with total conviction and knowledge) that it was hard to join it, and work it.
I disagreed, and said it was easy, that you needed practice, sharp chisels and knowledge (related to how the wood is working) sometimes you can go for a large chop with a chisel and sometimes you have to keep them short and remove the waste.
They all piled on, started calling me a troll, and then banned me.
Hard to believe that I got banned that quickly. Having read many of their posts, We are doomed by people who have watched so many videos they are experts without having actually done work. One person actually said that sharpening was a lost art, because it's so easy to just buy sharp chisels...
Finding out that I was unable to disagree with a respectful comment and get banned has me in utter disbelief . I watched as someone bought a pre-finished wood top, bought legs, and proclaimed the he had done woodworking , and proceeded to show off his table.. He literally attached legs to a table.. (metal legs). That was not woodworking.. that was assembly. Ikea type assembly. While I respect it as it is. I found it to be less woodworking and more look what I bought.
Anyway, when my friend gets back from vacation, I'll let him know what a horrible idea this was for me.
Damn never has, never will be experts. I worked at a place where I found people like that. They did something once and were experts.. Not real people. Why are there so many of them?
