Fascinating and talented workmanship

[Rezi]

I occasionally wander over to the UKworkshop forum and I came across this thread which has been running for a little while. It covers riving boards form large Oak trunks to intricate carving and is fascinating, well written and informative. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I've read a few posts of his, while the work is very good, I can't stand what he writes as he comes across as very pretentious towards other posters sometimes. Perhaps it isn't his intention but I get "Look at me and my enormous brain" vibes from each post.

There are a few newish posters there now who I can't stand reading, combined with threads of very little interest to me so I very rarely look at the site.

Snap especially with the thinly vailed racism, sexism and homophobia that seems to be accepted. But thats enough of talking about the place. Lets park it and if you feel the need to vent you can PM me, ill be happy to talk. bscene-drinkingbuddies:

The quality of his work is high, and he is clearly an enthusiast and knowledgeable. He's worked and studied in some places that I also rate (such as the Weald and Downland Museum) and has an interest in historic joinery (as do I). Hence I can overlook quite a bit as the positives outweigh them. He is possibly on a bit of an ego trip, but may well be quite young. He can certainly set out and carve.

Yes, I can’t remember what it was but he put my nose out of joint once. It is quite noticeable that the number of regular posters has diminished, along with the level of knowledge and expertise.
