I’m only posting this here because it has the most views and replies… But where is the section to post general woodworking questions? Nearly all forums I use have a “general” section where such questions are asked and answered, I’d think this forum could certainly use one as well. |

It could fit in “skill sharing” or “joinery” or really anywhere you want to put it. Unlike a couple of other forums I’ve been in, nobody here will run you out of town if you post a question in the wrong spot. (They might suggest you move it to a particular forum but only to help you get more responses.) -- This Ad Space For Sale! Your Ad Here! Reach a targeted audience! Affordable Rates, easy financing!

Jim... how is this copy-paste response helping here? ...lol. the OP has been here for over 100 days and I assume he already got that copy paste message from you when he joined is that no so? Gannicus – I think you have a valid point. Personally I would consider the “woodworking skills share” the “general” “catch all” forum for anything that doesn’t necessarily fit into any of the others, but I suppose it’s name isn’t as clear for that purpose. glue ups I would consider to be part of “joinery” and could fit in well in that forum. you could post a suggestion in the “LJ feedback” forum to rename one of the forums to be called “general”, or add a new one with that purpose in mind which will be reviews by site management. -- ㊍ When in doubt - There is no doubt - Go the safer route. |

Thanks guys…see, I’m really green to woodworking, and most times, probably like other noobies, we don’t know enough to put things in the right place, the right lingo etc. A general forum I think would solve this…I literally spent 30 mins staring at the list of possible forums to put my question in, and in my frustration, started this one instead.

Lev – I noticed that reply from Jim in another forum, not the usual “welcome new member” area. Although I respect him, it could be considered a type of spam. But hey, it keeps the number of posts up.

Maybe that was it… “Where do I ask a question?” lol But I think it’s a glue up question. Hope he posts it and provides a link to it here, as I could use some ‘tips and tricks’ for better glue ups. I have a chair in pieces at the bench, for example, and am dreading that glue up as it includes four back slats and nine sub-seat ‘rungs.’ Yuck. -- Don't anthropomorphize your handplanes.

Shoot smitty I just glued one up, as a repair… I am looking to see if I have pics, but it took some creativity and a lot of clamps, but I got the whole thing in one session. I remember doing things in a way that some clamps were used as cauls to clamp in the other direction, and then those frames used as cauls clamp the back down…. hmmm OP Since all the forums show up on the main pulse page, just ask you question, and add the appropriate tags. Joinery would be a good place to ask, but it looks like you got that. -- Who is John Galt? |
