I prefer POJ. I also prefer KISS = Keep It Short & Sweet.

Why you may ask? Because I am a somewhat refined dreg.

Ok fellow WBers, I have updated the list. I did not include the hobbit house entire list only because I feel we should be making our own, not just copying, but adding the ones we regularly use here should be good.
Thanx
Marc

@Johnturner ...ok. I added your suggestion and fixed the link in the other topic. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I had not updated it since before the new forum software change over. Oopsie.

Thanks again John.

Is it possible to make a sticky that has the ones used here on this site?
For example...*CA"- Cyanoacrylate, Super Glue

or the one I was looking for...BLO...Boiled Linseed Oil. Which I had to google for...

Thank you so much!

I think this is an excellent idea as I've seen a few that after almost 40 years, even I didn't know
my only suggestion would be to edit 1 of the first replies so all are viewable at beginning of post, and all in 1 place
I'll go thru replies, see which ones are covered, then add what others I might know ........

*** edit, never mind, I just saw the Acronym post *** :-D

 

[ripjack13]

@Jerry B , if you do have some you want to add, just post em up here in this topic and I'll add em to the list...

Thanks!
