I think you should open aonther section for sawdust. That way questions and comments about the sawdust session can all be placed here. Easy to find and maybe reduce repeat questions.

I agree. While I haven't been a dedicated viewer (yet). It would be nice to help collect all discussion in one area.

I'll close by simply asking two questions:

What is the purpose of the SS Forum?

If the users can't easily find the information they need or are looking for, then what good is the forum?

1. To help people find 'things' and do 'things'.

2. See #1

Would it be possible to add a button at the end of a page of posts that would bring us back to the top of the page. I have seen this on another forum and thought that would be useful here instead of wheeling us up with the mouse.

Or else it could be "New Posts" at the bottom of the pages.

Just asking.

Thanks for the great forum.

Holding down 'Ctrl' and pressing the 'Home' key takes you back to the top of the current page on most (all?) browsers.

Hi,

Don't know if this might work for you or not but on firefox hitting the [Home] key takes you to the top of the page. If you have a mouse that can be programed then you might well have a solution with that.

Annnd [End] takes you to the bottom. (of the current 'page')

Hi,

Thanks for all the suggestions ...

I know the control key but where is the home key

I am with Firefox but on mac

I just found this ....

If we go completely down the page, there is the word "TOP" in the right corner, so it was already there or someone added it ... it is the first time that I go down completely. Because at the bottom of each page, there is that section where you can post, so we tend not to go all the way down ...

So "TOP" is the keyword of the day for me.

Sorry I first wrote this in the wrong thread ...

I have no idea about most species of wood and their proprieties.

I read every thing I find in an attempt to learn about woods and get confused.

I think there are a lot of newbs like me that would love to learn more.

I can't even identify most woods. I plan on doing a lot of woodworking and need to learn much more.

IMHO WOOD would make a great forum category by it's self.

After all... to learn woodworking without learning wood would be like.......

Wood could probably warrant a forum totally devoted to it... It continues to amaze me. The more I learn, the more I realize I don't know... But I will accept anything I can learn & would prefer to go to only one forum myself. I find the topics here to be very broad ranged & interesting.

Give some consideration to joining the forum here. This is Nick's website and it contains a great section of woods as well as many other topics.

The wood experts in the U.S.A. are the guys at the Forest Products Laboratory,in Madison Wisconsin. Here is their site - Yes it is the Federal Government - http://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/products/publications/several_pubs.php?grouping_id=100&header_id=p

They used to publish an annual book titled "The Wood Handbook" With the coming of the internet - they went electronic. Maybe they still publish a hard copy, I haven't checked. The annual books in the 1960s and 70s were about two inches thick. That's a lot of material!

One of the very best hard cover books I have found that discusses wood growth, characteristics and identification, etc. is "Identifying Wood" by R. Bruce Hoadley. This volume is just as handy as the old wood textbooks we had in Forestry School. I think you can buy one of those books on the internet.

Congratulations. You are one of the few people in this country who are aware what "free" from the government and "free, government funded" actually mean.

"We all pay for it."

(and millions of other things we have absolutely no use for.)
