I agree Mark plus I think that there is a lot of patting oneself on
the back also. Tom, I'm not talking about you. My
very first post to ST was about shims because of something Tom posted, he
was talking about shimming a head & shaft for freq. testing
& I was talking about shimming an oversize
hosel. To me Tom has always been straight forward
and has never been or acted like a "KNOW-IT-ALL" like some of our newer
members & a few of our older members, who think that the sun rises and
falls on their words yet have said on numerous times that they are not
really clubmakers they just build clubs for themselves and a few
friends. AS to their
input my understanding is that they really don't have most of
the equipment, like any form of a meter, to make golf clubs
with.
When I post something it's something that I have actually done or
used in my life's trade as a Tool & Die Maker or as a Manufacturing
Engineer. I will never & have never told someone who
has asked me a question about how to do something how to preform any
operation that I personally have not preformed
myself. I just hope that the info that I have
posted here and privately to ST'er has never results in any injuries or
bad workmanship.

fishing line as a shim.
By the way Tom, as well as everyone
else,
