Haha, burn! You’re right, that thread died too. I wasn’t messing with you, just wondering if there was any more progress on the board.
With all the unglassed and unsanded blanks I have piled up in front of me, and my day job; that old Hansen with a “T” scribbled on it is the least of my concerns.
Then why did you start a post about it?
Why not? I see threads start on this site all the time that spend a period of time inactive and wind up 2 or 3 pages under. Then the poster picks it up when he gets the time and continues on. Other times a thread will just die out for whatever reason. Then somebody will bump it up for some reason. Thrillkill will eventually bump his thread to the top. But not because I offered to document him on film actually shaping. My thread will come back when I get the time for it. Do you have a job? Go to school? You might consider a hobby.
Hopefully no one gets me wrong about JP’s apprentices. If they put their mind to it and learn from Jim they will make good Shapers. But I don’t think time is that important in their apprenticeship. Therefore a shape off doesn’t prove anything. If time wasn’t part of it; Scott could send each invited shaper home with a blank a month before the Board Show. They would be turned in Friday of the Show and judged over the weekend…
