How a Captive Nut turned into a How-To-Make-a-How-To-Thread

[Grant Bowker]

I think it could work to put the information in one thread and post a link to the original information in the other thread, reducing storage and bandwidth demands, reduce work for moderators (as anyone can create the link) and provide information flow.

If the above is practical, I think I would prefer to see the full information in the restoration thread which would let me see the information with the context of why the how-to was needed, how it works and the result of the inventor used it, then the how-to thread might just be a series of links to other threads.

On the other hand, I can recall postings of how-to that were not related to a restoration - just a technique a member wanted to share.
