New Woodworking Website

Well, I really don't intend to "edit or filter" the content assuming
it's on topic. Also, I wanted to make it a place for woodworkers to
show off their shops and see how others have set theirs up. Also a
place to show completed projects and get design & technique ideas.

I suggest you hang around here a bit longer, with side trips, in your
spare time, to www.woodcentral.com. You might also want to go to
woodweb. Then see if you are going to be offering fresh, more
informative news about woodworking and woodworkers.

Thanks all for the feedback. I didn't know about www.shoptours.com.
No need to create another site like that if it's already out there.
Fortunately I was in early concepting stages and hadn't invested too
much design time (Obviously not enough research time either. Ha! But,
that was partially why I posted this string). I'll need to re-evaluate
what goes into the site if anything.

BTW, I'm open to any suggestions for site ideas that you haven't seen
online yet.

Then I would suggest a wiki style site. There are several packages
available. I was looking at the page for one on Source Forge last
night. The Wiki-pedia is probably the most popular variation.

So if the conversations are not up to you standards you will edit or filter
the comments? If not, whats the point of yet another site to water down the
information available now?
