..Kev Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 The goal of this section is to encourage the more advanced woodworkers a place to discuss more advanced topics, tools, and techniques. Not that there's anything wrong with pocket screws but, this would not be the section for those discussions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdwerker Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 I can't think of a topic off hand but I will keep an eye out for interesting questions that I could have input on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chet Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 When I first joined I thought of my self and an "above average" wood worker. Then I saw what was going on here and realized that I wasn't even close. Now thanks to this place I think I am a pretty decent wood worker but still working toward "above average". With the adding of the advanced section hopefully the trip will be faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-MattK- Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 huh. that's an idiom I don't use... feels a bit slang-y for a reference to a Nobel-winning piece of research, but I guess I'm the "know nothing" here! As you were! :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoodwhisperer Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 I'm pretty sure the person who made that chart is at the beginning of the learning curve and thus a bit overconfident in their spelling skills. Most research papers don't incorporate slang. If there's one thing I've learned on the internet, if you're going to take the time to make fun of a group of people, you better be sure to use correct spelling and grammar. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat60 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 That's funny because it looked normal to me.. I'm quite good with bad spelling and grammar.. LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curlyoak Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 I like this new topic. I do not use pocket screws. In hidden areas I will use pin nails and glue. If I add for a sliding dovetail that never will be seen then my bid is not competitive. If building cabinets for a garage pocket screws may be a good solution. Unless the garage houses Rolls Royce and other exotic cars. Then no pocket screws. If this is advanced non professional and the clock is not an issue, then never pocket screws. Not my website but my 2 cents. And regardless of my thoughts I will follow the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the actual chart lol... Just something that someone made for the internet, and shame on me for not spell checking a chart someone else made This is an abstract from the research if you want to read instead of looking at a pretty bad image representing the work. Quote People tend to hold overly favorable views of their abilities in many social and intellectual domains. The authors suggest that this overestimation occurs, in part, because people who are unskilled in these domains suffer a dual burden: Not only do these people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it. Across 4 studies, the authors found that participants scoring in the bottom quartile on tests of humor, grammar, and logic grossly overestimated their test performance and ability. Although their test scores put them in the 12th percentile, they estimated themselves to be in the 62nd. Several analyses linked this miscalibration to deficits in metacognitive skill, or the capacity to distinguish accuracy from error. Paradoxically, improving the skills of the participants, and thus increasing their metacognitive competence, helped them recognize the limitations of their abilities.

Catco Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 In short, the people that know the least, fervently claim to be an expert. Even when presented with proof of their incompetence. Whereas those that are perceived as experts don't claim to know as much. At least that's always been my understanding of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't consider that anyone would take that post as anything but a joke. I'll try to do a better job using smilies, but I've never used them much. "No nothing" is absolutely a lower starting point than either "know nothing", or "not anything" . Around here, people who talk like that don't consider it slang. They believe they're speaking English, no joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdwerker Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 I've been doing this for over 40 years and I've learned plenty in the last 10-15 years. I've also found out plenty of things about woodworking that I don't know how to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee-dub Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Somehow I've managed to not wander over to this section. I concur with wdwerker and thank him personally for some things he's posted that made me go . . . "hey, look what he's doing!". We advance by learning, not by arriving. Man, don't I wax philosophical in the morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
