Of 8000 I wonder what the stats are for how many are working engravers???

congratulations Sam

Yeah. I agree that this forum is great. All of the craft/art interests that the people of this forum share are so widely dispersed throughout the globe that finding people with similar interests to talk to and share with is very difficult.Particularly in the UK there are only a handful of craftsmen / women who practice the craft that finding one to talk to is difficult. Finding one to help and share ideas almost impossible. I dare say it is even harder for those situated in remote parts of the world. I would like to thank everyone for the contributions made on this forum and to Sam for the unquestionable hard work that would have gone into setting up and maintaining this site. God bless you all.

That's basically 99.69% freeloaders! Are you sure this site isn't run by the government?

I've just put my money where my mouth is. I've recently been saving for Marcus's DVD and book, but unfortunately missed out on the last copy. I have taken an awful lot from this forum and given very little in return. I have decided to become a pledge member and have just subscribed for a year with some of the money I had saved. Thank Sam for your efforts. I hope that helps a little to the costs and time involved. XXX

Hey Silverchip, does working at being an engraver count? Congrats Sam!

 

[silverchip]

If you've ever stuck yerself with a graver you need to be here!!!!!! And pledge too!!!

$25 is wickedly cheap for what the average schnoid gets from this forum.
Most people pay twice that a month for their lousy, worthless television programming and 5 times that a month for their iPhone usage.
You're talking 7 cents a day.
Come on tightwads: Pony up!

 

[KCSteve]

I'm also surprised at the low number of pledge members.

 

[monk]
