From time to time (actually, quite often) someone asks a reasonable question but one which has been dealt with several times before and some 'old hands' here say "do a search. it has all been answered before. Ask us if there is something new to ask after you have read all those earlier threads."(or something similar but more direct). Such as this recent thread on tablesaws.
The really good threads find there way into Best of the Best. But sometimes we don't regard the thread itself as really good, but it deals with really interesting or useful things and others will find the results of the discussions in there very helpful.
So I thought that it might be an idea to put together a couple of threads on long-running issues where I have collected the previous threads and do a summary of the story so far. One example would be on plane fettling, another might be chisel restoration, another would be using epoxy for boats,. I am sure others would have ideas for similar questions. It would be good if these were kept somewhere realtively accessible (maybe as a new part of 'Best of the Best') as a kind of FAQ on subjects.
