Talk about favorite or hated suppliers, recommend good materials or sources, or anything of the same ilk. This is also a good place to suggest unique ideas and innovations you may have come up with.

Most of us own a few Casey books, and I think they have helped me quite a bit. He just released a "Complete Illustrated Sailboat Maintenance Manual" that houses six of his best boat books. It's hardback and what a book it is. You can pick it up at Amazon for a decent price. A must have for all us maintenance junkies.

I like Don Casey and have several of his books. He does have a tendency, though, to put a great deal of emphasis on some items, like canvas-work, and skip other topics that I think deserve more time. I sometimes get the impression I'm watching one of those home restoration shows and, while I'm getting the basics, there isn't much detail.
