I dunno Ken. I'd still suspect you have to let them happen instead of make them happen. We're not likely to get connect the dots on how to build a best gun, but little tidbits can be taken here and there and applied to completely different projects. Every now and then, an experienced smith will pop in with a quick comment that's clearly off the topic direction, but might be an ah ha moment. You may not want to turn that possibility off.
Absolutely. I'm not suggesting we create "Holy Writ", just provide a place for an exchange of information in a congenial way. If someone wants to know how things were done at the factory when their gun was made, the information would be available. Then, if the person wants to uses different processes that have been discussed on the board, it's entirely a personal choice.
