Keith -- if you're interested you can go to www.finewoodworking.com which is a wonderful website filled with lots of woodworking information. There are two portions to the site. One is free and includes the Knots forum. You have to register for it which includes havng a screen name and password but the service is free. The Knots forum is a bulletin board or chat site in which you can post questions and other members will post answers. Some of the threads really are quite good while others seem to be populated by a few smart mouths, etc., but generally the site is remarkable. I have raised some difficult questions and received some very helpful replies.
The other portion of the site is a paid membership site which includes two very useful functions. First is that you have access to all previous articles in Fine Woodworking magazine and you can download those articles in .pdf form. The second is access to a panel of experts for any questions you have. The experts include many authors for the magazines and many are well-known peersonalities in the woodworking world. They will give you personal answers and they give the answers pretty promptly. Somewhat confusingly, the paid membership site is entitled finewoodworking.com, the same name as the website which includes the free portion. I suggest you just go to www.finewoodworking and play around with it and see if you like it. Other sites which may be helpful include woodcentral.com. There are a few others but right now the names slip my mind. As I think of them, I'll let you know. -- Larry Martin Woodworking for the Blind --joining the world of blind wood workers -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Keith Christian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hi Larry, > > Thanks for asking the question on my behalf.
