Well Happy Birthday! After the neighbors down the ridge wake up I think I'll go out to the sawmill behind the barn and play the birthday song real loud on the cornet.

Happy Birthday.

Wow. 19 years of a great forum.

Happy to say this is the only ww'ing forum I've ever registered with.

You have done a great job, monitoring all of us here, giving us a lot of latitude without letting arguments get out of hand. That has to be a difficult job! Kudo's to you. I have been a "member" for an unknown amount of years (I know at least 13) and have visited this site almost every day. Thanks, for maintaining WoodCentral for all these years.

A grand accomplishment. Been with you since before the end of Badger Pond.

Ellis,

If you ever wonder if this site really makes a difference (and I hope you don't), I can tell you that WoodCentral and the community here have helped me immeasurably. I was a garage shop hobbyist when this site started. Today my work is in galleries around the country and I have done commissions all over the world.

Perhaps a cliche, but sometimes it really does "take a village". Thank you to you and everyone here, and those who are our dearly departed.

Continued success in all your endeavors.

WoodCentral has helped my woodowrking

Bill Tindall, E.Tn.

The depth and breadth of knowledge here is amazing, far more so than any competitive site. Other sites seem to be more social, which is fine if one is looking for social interaction. But this site is the place to go for help and often several helpful views on a topic. I like that this site cares more about the participants than the advertisers.

Congratulations. I've been a daily visitor since 1999. The site has just gotten better and better over the years.

Happy Birthday and Congratulations, Ellis! I've been here since the draining of Badger Pond (in 2003, I think). I wish I'd discovered WoodCentral earlier. This is the only woodworking forum I find valuable enough to visit on a daily basis and to contribute my knowledge and opinions to.

Happy Birthday and many more Ellis. I do remember the early days and what a great magazine AW was under your leadership.

Happy Birthday from another happy user of all the knowledge here on WC. Still have my copies of AWW from those days when it was great - thanks to you. 19 years?! Hard to believe. Keep up the good work! Jim

Thanks so much for providing this truly important venue. It's made me a better woodworker and the seemingly endless fount of knowledge is staggering. It's the best resource on the Internet, and the first place I go to for answers and inspiration.

That's great Ellis, congrats! Now that I've given up drinking beer, I'll have to celebrate with a nice cold drink of cranberry juice. ha
