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.
