Maple Trader has been an absolute blessing to me from the beginning. I have actually told people on other type of forums how great the knowledge sharing is here. I would say this site moved me ahead 5 years in the beginning. I learned so much about everything from tapping, to filtering to equipment and more. I think I may have just gave up in frustration if not for this site in the early years. Even though I had experience as a kid, I didn't have real professional knowledge. You all are the kindest people I have ever encountered in a trade.
