| Registered User Sr. Member |  Baffled by Woodworking Channel!!? I'm sorry boys, but I just don't get it. I've tried to join Woodworking Channel but I don't understand what "headlines" are and some other terms so I give up. And when I try to watch it all I get is the same old Sam Maloof stuff that has been on for five months. Got nuttin' against ol' Sam but I was hoping the great ALL NEW channel was really gonna be whiz bang stuff. Now, I KNOW this has to just be me.....but what the heck am I doing wrong? I really enjoy the Router Forums but the old woodworking channel had some nice useful stuff from time to time. I will not bother you guys again but the fact that I've tried about seventy-eleven shots at the thing and can't make it work makes me wonder. |

| Official Greeter Supreme Forum King  | Birch, as Bj says, you don't have to join the WWC to view the videos. Click on the WWC and when the first screen comes up, click on videos at the to of the page. This will take to Ole Sams menu. At the top of his window is a small bar that runs acroos the top of his picture. This is where the other videos are located. On the right side of the bar is an arrow. Click on that to move the menu to the left to see more videos. Then click on say The Router Workshop or the Great British Workshop, etc. This task bar is right under where it says "The Worlds Workshop". I too all but gave up on them.

Discription= I'm a 65 yr old woodworker who hates questions. Tags are stuff you are interested in. Put in routing. sawing, turning, scrollsawing, etc. Times are passing you by George, BUT, some one must have high on something when they came up with the questions. It is really nice too, that they gave us some idea as to what they wanted. Real brainiacs.

| Registered User Sr. Member | Thanks again fellas. I know I don't have to join to watch, but yesterday I could not even figure our how to FIND, let alone WATCH anything. I think whoever cooked up this new "scheme" should have their butt (s) kicked. The object is to make it EASY for your customer to find/use your product. I suspect that what we have here is a small gang of very young computer geeks showing their stuff to a bunch of us old farts. If I am wrong I'm wrong. But I still think someboyd should get a grown-up to review their work!! |

| Registered User Sr. Member | And a final note: With your help fellas I found my way in and actually enjoyed watching something. But I would urge whomever is in charge of the WWC to give some serious thought to making it FAR more user friendly. No hard feelings, but you can do better than what is up there now. |

| Registered User Forum King  | Just be glad the "Cubists" don't have a website. Here's a satire on that subject. http://www.satirewire.com/news/0011/cubist_site.shtml

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King | Hi Birch I will need to disagree with you on this one It's so much better than it was, b/4 it was a pig an poke thing...you just didn't know what was going to play or at what date or time... Now you can select the one want to view from the 25 on the list and I'm sure they will add more as they go on... Now it's almost as if they where on your HD and when you have the time you can view them.. 24 - 7 thing that's hard to beat plus you don't need to pay for them like the DVD's that Oak-Parks sells...not to say anything about the other shows you can select from. Man can not live on routers alone ============== Quote:

| Registered User Forum King  | I tend to agree with BJ, it is much better on many levels, however, even as a seasoned computer user and professional I did find the headings to fill in somewhat confusing. I just did what you can do and put something in to see what it would do, knowing that you can go back and change it later if you want.....which is what I did. The site is actually fairly well designed, just needs a little more instruction for those not too computer literate. I understand where you're coming from Birch....sometimes it can get weird, especially if your own PC settings are such that it doesn't allow you to change things easily when you go into a site....ie: high security settings. Ed......:-) |
