Thanks Bill.

Look forward to seeing Mac Simmons' website.

Essence of what I have benefited from others on rec.woodworking regarding finishing is
that there are a myriad of ways to botch a finish - from not selecting the proper
materials for the wood, to application techniques.

Being remanded to the belt sander for lack of proper planning is to be avoided at all
cost.

Hello All,

I'm jumping on this late but, hopefully, with a positive contribution.

I am a member of a woodworking club on Long Island and we are very fortunate to have a finishing expert among our members. Mac Simmons has graciously shared a wealth of knowledge among our members and has a website where others can access his expertise. I encourage you to go to:
http://www.macsimmons.com/
and check it out.

I am to be grouped with those that don't give enough pre-thought and planning for the finishing process and find I'm rushing the finishing so I can be, well, finished. I need to allow more time. It is, I hope, a skill to be developed further in 2014. I also need to read posts more carefully to see who is posting experience and who is repeating what they read elsewhere. Both are valuable but, of course, the former more so.

Happy 2014 to our REC family.

Bill

Thanks.
