About Paully Rad

[Greg Millen]

The recent thread on Paully Rad started me thinking that, unless someone stumbles across him whilst Googling, they could miss some valuable information. I'd like to suggest that we start our own little 'Hall of Fame' and immortalise some valued contributors in the FAQ. For example:

The following Wreck members/contributors have provided consistently valued information and are worthwhile searching for on the topics attributed to them.

Paul T. Radovanic (dec. 2002) - Finishing, Shellac Cut and paste the following as a single entry in your browser:

What do you think, who else would you add?

I haven't been here nearly long enough to offer an opinion, but the combined wisdom and help these, and other, folks have offered have made my woodworking odessey much more enjoyable.

My sincere thanks to each.

Yes. Worthwhile. Gone but not forgotten.

Are these accolades or *posthumous* accolades?

Accolades, as a guide to newbies to find wreckers with specific knowledge sets.

Whew! Was worried I've have to quote Samuel Clemens, "The rumors of my death..."

Oooo! Let's make it a fun lil' get-to-gether. I'll bring the Nacho's and Salsa. I make a mean salsa. The secret is cylantro and basil.

Nowhere to be seen at the moment. Changed ISPs twice in the last year and the new house is STILL not ready! I'm getting the itches about all my tools stashed away in locked storage like you wouldn't believe. Besides, I've been locked away in air force rooms immediately before and after the 911 crap. It's only in the last 8 months or so I've been allowed to surface again.

Once things stabilise the site will be back up with tons of new stuff. Yup, I've been hoarding a thing or two... ;) Meantime, I've got to continue renting and using a dialup account! >¦Þ~~~

Glenbrook or AST (JOC)?

Noons, if you'd like, I can host your site for you (FOC) until you're up and running. I've a permanent IP and a redirect is easy enough to set up; ping me.

Good to see you pop up for a sanity check,

cheers,

Greg

[Conan the Librarian]

Gee, Nuno ... I didn't realize you were that important.

Didya perhaps meet a fellow named Dick Cheney while you were locked away? ;-)

Sucks to be you, eh? ;-) Seriously, I look forward to upcoming drivebys from you.

I would add a couple names who were valued contributors years ago, but seldom heard from anymore:

John Paquay

mcnamara - no website, unfortunately. Knows more about finishes and finishing than anyone recently on the 'wreck'. Wish he would come back.

As much as I love Jums, I wouldn't say the ol' Minwhacker was a finishing guru.

Yeah, I miss 'em all, too.

You've got the wrong Jim McNamara, the finishing guru signs:

jim mcnamara Domingo Rose

He's posted a couple of time in the last two months. I hope his posts become more frequent.

Well why didn't he SAY "Domingo Rose"? I grok the original question better now. Thanks.

Comprehensive Website Design

Glenbrook. And it's finally finished!

Thanks chief. The house is supposed to be ready end of October. That means we should move in some time in November (touch wood). If it doesn't happen, then I'll need a site somewhere and will take up your offer.

[Noons]

Important? Narh, just a database designer with a lot of crap to go through.

Hehehe! This is Australia we're talking about. The hardest thing to do here is keep illegal migrants away from our shores: everyone wants to move in.

hmmmmyeah, a few around. Mostly carving and measuring related. I'm into a lot of small things now (no workshop) and some minor carpentry to fix things aroud the rental places. Weirdest job was to fix the water infiltration into the garage. Turned out to be just rain water coming in via the front door. A small bump of concrete across the entrance and all was fine after that.

Ah well, I'll catch up soon.
