I remember buying a very specific blacksmith vise from someone on a forum where I spent a lot of time.
I never really discussed with herb specifically on this forum except to arrange the sale but when I met her it was like meeting a friend.
She was in a meet with other people from this forum the week before, she told me about the projects they had and gave me extra pieces of exotic wood and Damascus steel that she made with another member for me to work with.
We didn't knew each other at all be the fact that we belonged to the same online community was enough for us to be instantly friend.
