I would like the B/S/T forum to include 2 more classifications
1: Mentoring help, ( free of charge/no cost )
Currently the list of people willing to help new guys in their geographical area is in the Wiki and
difficult to find. A number of new guys who have come to my home have found me via an
Internet search. None have said by using the Wiki so I would like to have this added to the B/S/T
because it would be more visible to new guys. Either there or as a sticky in the Beginners forum.
2. Services ( paid services)
I have had discussions with some guys who perform honing/pin tightening/razor buffing for a small
fee on an occasional basis.
They have a real problem with the vendor program costs. For them it is simply not worth the
money or just barely ( maybe).
If we keep them out of the B/S/T then we are not only putting them out of business but also
depriving the new guys of a source for help and it is help that the new guys really need.
The Vendor program is simply to expensive for the occasional honing/scale making/pin tightening
/ restoration person.
Please rethink this.
Thanks for reading :)
