thewoodwhisperer Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 You might have noticed that there are several folks in the forum who have the Mentor tag under their name. This is a tag that designates the person as a knowledgable and trusted resource. By no means does this indicate that members without the tag are not to be trusted. Quite the opposite, in fact, as we have a smart bunch of woodworkers here. But Mentors not only know what they're talking about, they also tend be very friendly and they go above and beyond to help a fellow woodworker get the answers they need. Know anyone like that? If you feel a particular person in this forum is deserving of the Mentor tag, please feel free to Nominate them in this thread. IMPORTANT RULE (please read!) 1 - Do not nominate someone more than once! If you see your nominee's name is already posted, simply click the Like This button at the bottom right of the post. This will make it much easier for me to gauge how many people agree with a particular nomination. Please keep in mind you are not "voting" and this is not meant to be a popularity contest. Final decisions will be made by the Admins and Mods. A note to nominees - Being a Mentor brings no additional responsibilities or benefits, other than access to a private Mentor's room in the forum. If you do not want the tag, that's perfectly fine. If you would like your name removed from the nomination list, simply Private Message me and I'll take care of it. Thanks everyone and have a great week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mds2 Posted February 18, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 How about Chris Wong, or (FlairWoodworks), or whatever he goes by on here.. He doesn't post lots, by if you follow his blog you know that he is very knowledgeable. Also the two Dons mentioned above. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Boatworks Today Posted February 21, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I'd like to put Triple H on the list (hhh). Always very friendly and willing to offer help.. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 ==> I'd like to put Triple H on the list (hhh) Thanks for the nod.. Appreciated… Do you want payment in Genuine Mahogany or West Systems hardener? As a side note, watched your video on varnish over West Systems. We just completed an outdoor set in mahogany. We substituted CPES (2 coats) for 206 under the the varnish (5 coats). It’s a really nice result. The technique must be amazing on something like an original Chris Craft. I've got a vintage sailing dinghy (1946) that needs tons of work and this may be the way to go. Thanks again for the video… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
