Quick Poll

February 28th, 2010 at 9:51

Woodworkers can find lots of knowledge about the craft by reading books, watching videos and browsing woodworking magazines.

However, when the goal is gaining wisdom, we often turn to other woodworkers for advice.  Believe me, I have asked question after question to anyone who with woodworking experience who would listen…

Later on, I noticed that woodworkers started asking me for advice.  Very strange.

This week, tell us if you have ever had the occasion to give woodworking advice… and if you took the opportunity.

Have you ever given anyone woodworking advice?

• Sure, I'm a respected, knowledgeable woodworker and love to talk shop
• Yeah. I give advice even if I really don't know the answer
• I reluctantly give advice
• I would love to give advice, but no one asks for it
• I'd rather not give advice
• I'm a solitary woodworker. LEAVE ME ALONE!
• Something else...

   When I am with other wood workers, I give advice at the same time as trying to drain them of knowledge. My favorite time is when I am with young folks where they soak up knowlege from all the wood workers. US older wood workers should all spend more time with the kids they are the future.
   with respect tom churchill

   Can I grab some of A & B? Drop the “respected & knowledgeable” from A and stop before you get to “even if I really don’t know the answer” from B and I thnk I’ve found my wheelhouse
