When I buy mine I'm going to Carter Tools, for the simple fact that on his Ordering Info page he says "I will always be available for technical help via. e-mail whether you ordered from me or bought it elsewhere." and that says A LOT about the kind of Person he is and care/interest he has in the product. I work Sales at an Online Music Store and we are told to turn down Tech Support if they didn't buy from us (even if we legitimately know the answer) I usually help anyway.

Nick Carter is the man when it comes to Taig tools. When I was getting set up originally, he took the time to actually talk to me about what I was doing. Add to that, his consistent involvement in the Taig community (his website and Yahoo group) where he's always available for help. If I had to put it into yoyo terms, he's the Takeshi of the Taig community.

I link this thread all the time.. can we please get it as a sticky? It's silly for me to have to tell people to go search for it..

I feel the same about another thread. The modder thread. I think BOTH should be sitckied. At least the........yo did it right off the bat!
Seems like the moderators don't do anything anymore. Just sit back and watch. Tisk Tisk!

I was thinking the same thing. When I made the "List of trustworthy modders" for that forum I was expecting some delay and a couple people asking for a sticky but no sooner had I made it than it was stickied.

They care about their users I guess.

kyo · « **Reply #26 on:** August 06, 2009, 02:20:46 PM »

I'm bumping this every time somebody asks me from now on, until it gets stickied

bump.

Well I was just asked so I figured why not bump it too.

icthus · « **Reply #28 on:** August 08, 2009, 02:00:52 PM »

Well I bumped my thread that I think should be a sticky so I'm gonna bump this one too.

I'm lost. I thought this was stickied. What the heck happened? This shouyld have been stickied the day the thread was made!

mrcnja · « **Reply #32 on:** August 12, 2009, 07:40:17 AM »

It was stickied then it wasn't but it is now here:
http://www.yoyonation.com/talk/index.php/topic,57526.0.html

I think it's a nice way to do it, really cleans things up a bit.

icthus · « **Reply #33 on:** August 12, 2009, 08:57:29 AM »

The problem if they don't see the title of lathe buying guide then no one will know its in there.

THE wood dwarf · « **Reply #34 on:** August 12, 2009, 09:04:04 AM »

Any one who is intending to start a topic to ask the question "what lathe should i buy"

should likely read the phrase "please read before starting a new topic"

icthus · « **Reply #35 on:** August 12, 2009, 09:22:30 AM »

You are absolutely correct but who actually reads that? 2 out of 200?

I'm just givin you a hard time.

xfredericox · « **Reply #36 on:** August 13, 2009, 02:02:10 AM »

i told in another post already that i think it is a good idea.

Just clarify the title a bit. "Must read" doesnt help getting us to read it. I know, silly, but its true.

Use "Modding rules and extensive list of very helpful topics - If you read this you will have a *yoyo* on each finger by the end of the week" or something in the vein of that.

People will be getting the hang of it soon,i guess, but its always hard to adapt to something new...

icthus · « **Reply #37 on:** August 13, 2009, 05:21:32 AM »

Now that is a good title!!

mrcnja · « **Reply #38 on:** August 13, 2009, 07:55:40 AM »

It sounds like I should read it.

I think its fine as it is now, if it emerges as a problem that people aren't reading it I will change it

I edited your above post, lets keep it family friendly fellas
