SPECIAL SITE PROFILE - WOODWORK

Every so often I will select a site to "profile" and for my first choice I  picked www.woodworking.org.  This site appears to have been started with a similar philosophy as my own i.e. to provide unbiased information to the best of our ability without being too tied in with advertising.

In order to get my facts right, as I know very little about the finer points of woodworking, I asked the people behind the site to send me a resume.  Their response is shown below:-

Our desire from the beginning in 1997 has been to have a site which would not be dependent on conventional advertising by vendors. We've been able to achieve this objective with dues from our membership and considerable cash from our own pockets. We aren't breaking even, but we're creeping toward that direction. For what it might be worth, here's our "charter":

It is important to note, that although we welcome members, one does not have to be a member to utilize any of the features on our pages.

Here's a brief synopsis of all the features available on our pages:

http://www.woodworking.org/WC/gazette.html

The Woodworker's Gazette- This is the place to be for current book reviews, tool evaluations and articles (member and guest written) on different aspects of woodworking. The current "feature" articles will eventually be replaced with new and the current will be archived.

http://www.woodworking.org

The WWA Info Exchange-This is a full-blown forum board with three components and unusual features which increases the "fun" aspect of posting questions and answers.

1-Infeed/Outfeed-which is for questions and answers on any aspect of woodworking

2-The Daily Puzzler-A board for woodworking related trivia.

3-The Daily UareL-This is a daily posting of web site URLs which may be of interest or value to our visitors and members. You'll notice there is little feedback on this board, but our visitors tell us that this is often the first forum they "click on" when they access Info Exchange.

http://www.woodworking.org/WC/woodsampler.html

WoodSampler - Images of many common and exotic woods used in woodworking. Visitors are encouraged to copy and utilize the images.

As you can see, it a very comprehensive site and would appear to be held in very high regard by their members.

Have a look for yourself.
