For example the word Introduction means tells us about yourself so we can get to know you. It does not mean post your question here and 6 other places on the forums. Staff checks to be sure every single question is answered. We have broken the forums down to specific topics to aid you in finding the right information. Questions about saws belong under general woodworking, not under routing. Our turning experts many not even read the scroll sawing section. For best results post under the right topic. Finally my biggest pet peeve: fill out your profile and tell us the State or Provence and Country you live in! This is so we can suggest the best places to buy, go for help or meet others in your area. No salesman will call. Most of my life I lived within 4 miles of one of the worlds best specialists in identifying woods and had no idea. How I wish I could of spoken with him. We are here to help you get more out of your woodworking experience. Please take the time to share your projects, mistakes, and solutions with us. By sharing we all come out ahead.
