I activated the emotion dampener function so this thread will hopefully stay completely emotionless. ;)

Nick Wheeler:
I know from his history on here that he is a good guy and wants to help.
I know he is not an "crotchety old elitist curmudgeons".
I understood what he meant and agreed with it.
And that's coming from a French Canadian that has to read things multiple times to understand sometimes and even then, don't get everything. :o

Why is this snowballing into something so complicated that will end up pushing away another high end smith?
 
you can tell by my post count that I don't do much posting, but I'm with ya on this Patrice. :thumbup: :D
 
Nick is good people.

This thread is for those who wish to post positive thoughts. Lets keep it friendly.
 
Nick is a gift.
 
I agree... Page is a curmudgeon.

I understood where Nick was coming from and I also understand how folks could have read into some of the responses as negative. To lose Nick as an active member would be sad, indeed. My stomach dropped when I read his response in the other thread.

DON'T LEAVE US NICKY!!!!!!
 
Nick has some of the most helpful and informative WIP posts out there. I've learned a ton from him and I sincerely hope he sticks around!

Thanks for the knowledge Nick!

Which one is Nick?
The one on the right or the left?

I am just teasing.
While I have never met Nick in person....he has been a good friend and encouraging to me since the beginning.
When I was just starting out, he stuck up for me and encouraged me to stick with what I was doing.
 
I'm with Patrice. Nick is huge asset to all knifemakers!
 
I'm not sure what this is about but I'm with everyone else on this...
I don't know that I've ever had a one on one with him, I can't say that he's ever replied to any of my threads, I do know this...
That from reading his threads, and the comments he makes when other beginners ask for help it's very obvious that this is a genuine person.
Some may call him an asset (which he is), I look to his WIPs (as well as yours Patrice) like an encyclopedia, and would be honored if one day I could call him friend...
 
Nick is the man. If my vote counts for anything, he'll stick around until I'm in the ground.
 
I bought a forged blade blank from Nick. He was most gracious and very generous with information.
 
I have no problem whatsoever with the views Nick put forth.

I've spent a bit of time lurking "Knifemakers" and I applaud Nick for his forthrightness.

I'm keepin' the orange, it'll be truly valid one day, and I'd like Nick to see that.
