Following a discussion on the Mountmaking Forum about sharing resources in the form of favorites, Chief Preparator and experienced mountmaker Jamie Hascall had the idea of pooling favorites and got the ball rolling.....and then allowed me to include you as well.
Please feel free to use comments to add your own "favorite" resources to the mix.
