Dave R.  was a big inspiration for me.  
He pretty much got me started, and taught me SketchUp. 
He would even call me to help me through problems.  
I use it almost everyday,  it changed how I approach not only building jobs in my shop but bidding and working with customers. 

I owe him a lot.

i missed out on the good ol days having joined about a year or so after martin sold the forum. from what ive read and heard he did a lot of real cool stuff. but im here now.

There were several jocks that I learned a lot from and inspired me along the way. GaryK from Lindale, TX was one, we met up a few times. I remember Beener and his struggles out in CO. Todd Clippinger always offered up good advice. Scrollgirl (Sheila Landry) posted patterns and advice daily. I just cleaned out my old messages last week and they brought back a lot of memories.

Yes, Todd very well had his act together. "Share the Knowledge" I believe he coined that phrase on Lj's
Sheila and Ellen (I think Ellen is still around)
Gary was a buddy,  and another good buddy was Renners

Same with me regarding Dave R. though outside of LJ as I joined circa pottzy time.
He pretty much got me when I started to learn and taught me a few neat tricks in SketchUp.  He (Dave R., not pottzy who can't even spell SketchUp without a tele-prompter) was a big inspiration for me with our TeamViewer sessions... and I live in Australia...
pottzy, I even dedicated a puzzle to him... well stole it from him.   

Does anyone know whatever happened to Beaner.....last I heard he was brandishing a gun on his porch and the SWAT team was called.....

I just joined here.

Just shy of 10 years on LJ
