The UBeaut Bulletin Board has helped me in my woodwork significantly and is a valuable resource. What benefits have others experienced?


Since becoming a member of the Ubeaut Bulletin Board how has this influenced your woodwork?

It has also introduced me, both online and in person, to the greatest bunch of bastards a bloke would be lucky to meet in a lifetime. There's too many of you to name but thank you all for making my life a little bit richer.
Sincere thanks to you all.

Zenwood,

Where have you been?

Foileys are foil hats we wear to stop the aliens stealing our thoughts and influencing our thinking. There are many references to them on the BB and even the UBeaut hat comes with a foiley option :)

Since joining the forums thanks to Reeves, I have finally found a group of people as wood-mad as myself, with whom I can talk wood till the cows come home as well as many other interesting topics and tom-foolery and the eyes/ears don't glaze over within 1 minute of mentioning the word 'wood'. I've even ventured beyond the backyard workshop to Maleny, Brisbane and Currumbin, visited a fellow-forum member's shed and finally made contact with other fellow female wood workers. I no longer feel like I'm an oddity, but an accepted fellow-forum member of the wood-working variety.So as far as I'm concerned, I'm Home!!!!!!:D

cheers

but I had to vote for the foilies & panckes. :rolleyes:

Well put Ruffly. Agree 100%

On foileys: only ever seen them on "Signs" (but then I'm just a newbie here). You dudes actually wore these? Who are you guys? (I can't talk though: I wear a beret:D)

Anyone want my pancake recipe? Takes 5 mins if that, is scalable for different numbers of breakfast-eaters, and satisfies all takers.

1. Decreased my work productivity by about 20%.
2. Deprived my wallet of it's excess funds.
3. Caused me to wonder at the silliness of so many others.

Oh, and the other stuff that you other guys said too.

Rocker
23rd June 2005, 03:42 PM
I have found that through this forum I can be part of a like-minded woodworking community, which would otherwise be hard to achieve, since I do not live in a capital city; woodworkers in my locality seem to be solely engaged in wood-turning, which is not my interest. But through this forum I have been able to meet up with about a dozen forum members, some of whom, like MajorPanic, Aussieglen, and others, have awesome skills that I can only envy.

I think I learn something new from the forum almost daily, and I suppose I must spend at least an hour a day perusing the threads. It has made a big difference to my life, and I am very grateful for its existence.

All of you have already said it for me.

Other people - Mick (journeyman Mick) and Darren (silentC) among them - have from time to time compared this BB to the sort of group you might meet in a big working environment or a large club. You meet people who have a common interest but who are all different. The rich mixture makes for a great atmosphere.

Thanks to all of you for cheering me up, pissing me off, making me laugh and teaching me a helluva lot! :)

Sturdee
23rd June 2005, 06:01 PM
Most of it has already been said, but the best thing it has taught me is a new appreciation of hand tools.

Previously I would have gone out of my way to avoid using certain hand tools now I grab the best tool for the job irrespective if it is plugged into a power point or not.

And ofcourse the friends I've made on the board, great bunch of guys with the same weird sense of humour. :)

I've personnally learnt how to spend a poo-pot of money on stuff I dont really need to survice. However I love this hobby and it gives me a sense of acheivement when people say "bugger, I thought you were useless at everything, can you make me one ?" the best part is when I say it will take x time and y of your $ for me to do this and they say ok.

however - we hates you all, you and your tricksy ways, give me back my ring, wankers the lot of yers. especially craigb, silentc, frigging grunt, wongo, OZWINNER!!!!, bitingmidge - pah!, woodborer, doorstop, darrylf and his sanitary workshop, majorpanic and his endless supply of new toolware, bloody and alexs, and all you others that make fun of us poor lower order primates ....

I might leave SWMBO at home this time so I can hang around longer this time instead of doing laps ten metres behind you. :D with her foot tapping out an increasingly more urgent tattoo with each successive lap.
You can't get out of it anymore, so bring those muffins with you as I still haven't sampled one of those thanks to that silent(?)C character, who stole my last one after plying me with copious quantities of amber liquid.

Hmm. I recall getting in on the Big Bessey Buy, that has greatly simplified clamping time and effort, allowing me to get other things done.

I have a shed-load of wood, thanks to this BB.

My TS was researched here and in other fora.

I've picked up lots of local knowledge of stores, events, displays etc.

I get to help others on occasion.

Techniques and ideas are easily retrieved from the search engine.

I got to meet some good guys in the process.

Oh yeah, nearly forgot - it has a resident talking monkey!

23rd June 2005, 11:04 PM
What everyone else has said (especially Al!), it's a source of information on almost any subject (sometimes even woodworking related) and a pretty nice place to hang out and shoot the breeze with some cyber woodworking friends. I've even had the pleasure of meeting some of them at Gary Pye's, unfortunately the afternoon was just too short and I didn't get the chance to talk to everyone for any where near long enough.

23rd June 2005, 11:45 PM
I joined the site after a large proportion of the google searchs I was doing pointed here. Time after time the answer to whatever issue I was look at was found on this BB.

Fine wood working is new to me. I have spent a life time being rough and ready, so have been struggling with detailed work. Its quite a brain shift to go from building a wall or a deck to cutting dove tails.
This BB has been a great resource for seeing what can be achieved and how. Unfortunatly my skill improvement has been slow (old dogs and all that) but atleast its moving in the right direction.

boban
23rd June 2005, 11:47 PM
It has made me laugh, angry and inspired me, but what I like most is that in a world of dollars, there are the exceptions to the rule and they are easily found on this forum. Examples of people going out of their way is common place here. Be it T-shirts, freight, meeting points etc., its fairly commonplace and I've only been here are short time.

Ive met a few of you and look forward to meeting more of you. Joegee is a perfect example ...:D

Unfortunately, I get to see the worst of people on a regular basis and this forum is for the most part a form of relief.

Oh and if you didn't realise, I know everything.....dont you love some of the options....:D good thread.

OK ladies, time to put the frilly apron on. Somebody wanted a recipe for pancakes, see attached for ingredients list (scaled according to quantity desired)

1. Put all ingredients in bowl, except butter.
2. Mix (rough enough is good enough) (whisk works well)
3. melt butter and add to mixture while stiring
4. get well seasoned, round sided pan really hot
5. add 5/6ths of a soup ladle of mixture to pan (and use gravity to spread it into a disc about 25cm diameter.
6. When top has ceased to be a liquid, but before bottom has burned (adjust stove as required), flip pancake
7. Cook 2nd side between 5 and 10 seconds, and slide it off onto stack/plate whatever.
8. Eat with lemon juice & sugar, maple syrup, (or if you are an experimentalist like no. 2 son, milo and jam, cheese & walnuts, etc.)

These are very thin, crepe style pancakes. Pankcake can be folded over topping, or coiled up, swiss-roll style.

Finish with ebeaut EEE and minwax.

24th June 2005, 12:12 AM
Hmm? What do I get from the BB?

Headaches.
Lost time.
Abuse.
Friendship. I have met some very nice people because of the board.
Laughter. Some of you crack me up with your quick wit.
Knowledge. I thought I knew a bit but I learn something off all of you.
A sense of humbleness sometimes when I hear of the struggles some of you have with what life has thrown at you.
All in all not a bad bunch to know.

I found out it was alright to know bugger all about woodworking and that people here (some) actually know what their talking about and are happy to answer dumb questions.

I found out that their are other really weird people in this world (like me) that work in office's but want to spend huge amounts of money making stuff they could have bought for 1/20th of the cost but none of the satisfaction.

I have found out their are people that are stranger than me!!!:D :D :D

This is a big thing because i used to think i was on this planet by myself.

Now I have a foiley (thanks Ubewt) all those voices have gone away!

Hmmmm, let me see......

Grey hair, premature aging, headaches, sleepless nights, ulsers and a nervous tic every time I hear certain names mentioned. Increased work load, less free time, more hastles. http://www.ubeaut.biz/crying.gif

Then there's the weekly emails..... approx 20 a week asking why something on the bb doesn't work, 30 asking why their password no longer works, 40 "help I can't.....", 10 "I registered but I can't.....", 30 abusive, whinging or crying emails, 60 emails a week from non members asking me to pass on info to someone on the bb, or wanting an address of a member or wanting to order one of Carba Tecs new thingamajigs from me because they saw it on the forums so I must be Carba Tec.

Reported posts: the best week I've had so far was 52 reported posts that's 104 emails - talk about ya spam.

Laws suits: So far 12 threatened legal actions because, some idiots just have to slag off businesses or individuals on the forums without thought of the consequences. Another 20 or more (that I know of) avoided by swift editing and quick negotiation.

Still looking for an upside......... Nup, can't find one.

Wait a minute....... It's been fun. Does that count?

Thank goodness I have an understanding wife, a and a Shane, otherwise it would all have gone to hell in a handbag ages ago.

Cheers - Neil http://www.ubeaut.biz/laughing.gif

Oh and Zenwood, does it matter what type of flour to use? Dunno: I only ever use plain. The original source says "not wholemeal".
I should say that this is an adaptation of the recipe in "NMAA Cooks - Recipes For Busy Mothers" compiled by the Nursing Mothers' Association of Australia, 1975, recipe 1205, p. 213, where they offer the following "Filling Ideas:


Lemon juice, castor sugar.
Ricotta cheese, sugar, cinnamon, sultanas.
Berry jam. Serve with cream.
250 g (8 oz) fruit mince softened in 1 tablespoon brandy.
125 g (4 oz) cream cheese, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 4 tablespoons chopped walnuts.
Chocolate sauce.
Honey or golden syrup.
(See R 435 [mushrooms, chicken, ham, cheese, etc.] and R 1811 [fishy stuff:eek:] for savoury fillings."

Now do this:

Go and make some brekky
Go and make some shavings

Finally my pancakes. Thanks Zenwood.
Heres my fail safe recipe
1 cup S/R flour
1 egg
pinch of salt (yes even for sweet p/cakes)
up to a tbl spoon of sugar
2/3 cup milk
mix to consistency of thick cream (add more milk if required) let rest for 1/2 an hour then cook in moderate pan til bubbles pop thru, then turn and cook for further minute or so. I dont cook in much butter, just enough to stop sticking and wipe out excess

You wont be dissapointed

You all (or most of you) keep on reminding me HOW MUCH I HATE BLOODY PANCAKES!! :eek: The sight of aluminium foil (aluminum, for the yanks) is also starting to make me feel ill! :mad:
