Line 1: Many people will want to start by using the search-bar to the left, or browsing [[:Category:Manufacturer\|The Manufacturer Category page]]. ~~Welcome to [[my]] mess of knowledge.~~ == Thanks to == There are many things that are too tedious for [http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] to be concerned with tracking - mostly "[[:Category:How-To\|How-To]]" style articles. That's exactly what [[I]]'m looking to keep here. This wiki wouldn't exist without the kind efforts of [http://www.garagejournal.com GarageJournal.com], [http://www.practicalmachinist.com PracticalMachinist.com], [http://vintagemachinery.org/ VintageMachinery.org], [http://www.jalopyjournal.com JalopyJournal.com], nor [http://~~home.comcast.net/~~~alloy-artifacts.org/ Alloy Artifacts].▼ --[[User:Dayid\|Dayid]] 0215:0547, 46 March 2012 (UTC)▼ ▲This wiki wouldn't exist without the kind efforts of [http://www.garagejournal.com GarageJournal.com], [http://www.practicalmachinist.com PracticalMachinist.com], [http://vintagemachinery.org/ VintageMachinery.org], [http://www.jalopyjournal.com JalopyJournal.com], nor [http://home.comcast.net/~alloy-artifacts/ Alloy Artifacts]. == Like-minded sites for web-travelers == If you're familiar with the wiki formatting and have something to add, please feel free to. If you're not comfortable with it, you can private message me (or e-mail me dayid@dayid.org) and I will add it myself. Please don't be offended if things you do are modified, this is a lot of information and it's important to keep it all organized just right!

As my work grew busier and my family grew I found less time to keep things up to date with updates from the many forums I frequented. In February of 2017 I was notified of defaced pages to the wiki that had occurred only shortly after I had made it possible for people to create accounts and perform edits. While I had concerns about people not keeping the data as organized as I'd intended I did not foresee the amount of utter spam that was posted. Shortly after, I took the site down and saved the backups of the data I had originally. I had many people reach out to me from forums and e-mail asking how they could help - and frankly I just didn't know how. On 12/17/2018 this site was kindly retrieved from backups created on 02/11/2017. This was done by the kind folks at Miraheze.org who are now hosting this site. I know since it was last online some other sites have sprung up with new information. I hope that both myself and the community will be able to protect and grow this site now in its new location. I am still re-uploading some of the > 500 images. --[[User:Dayid\|Dayid]] 20:25, 17 December 2018 (UTC) All original content is fully restored.
