Good Morning-
Long-time lurker, first time poster. I'm curious as to what other woodworking forums that you might regularly visit and which one that you find helpful.

Like Dusty, I too am on the Lumberjocks forum;
http://lumberjocks.com/8iowa
This is a large forum with over 22,000 members. There are quite a few Shopsmith guys there.
I think the administrator has temporarilly stopped adding new members because some jerk kept downloading pornographic pictures. This is in no way representative of the membership, really a nice bunch of guys.

Since I limit my computer time, this is the only forum watched.

I own an email list on Yahoo called "Frugal Fun Woodworking" which is geared for the guys that either have to or want to participate in the hobby in a very inexpensive manner. It is not a huge list but has a bit over 550 members last time I looked.
I really like this forum of course. I drop in on Sawmill Creek now and then and I was a member of Lumberjocks at one time but it was on an email addy through a former dial-up ISP that was horribly slow with forum pages. I now use broadband with my own little wifi system. I don't recall the old password and I can't reset it since the email addy is also defunct. I tried to sign back on but am stuck on a waiting list while they are not taking new members.
Like many of us I am on too many forums of all kinds including horse stuff and shoe and boot rebuilding and on and on...

I own about 10 other public email list and several private ones. I also spend a lot of time on Ancestry dot com and a bunch of other genealogy sites and groups.
The one I intend to follow is the router one but if I blink I forget to go there.
