New subforum announcement

[Jeff Jilg]

I have added this new subforum. This subforum is similar to the other AAW subforums.

The objective of the subforum is to share information in the form of a tip, a technique, or a how-to tutorial. As an example, the content in the "compressed air" thread provided good insight into how to setup a compressed air system. In particular Mark Mandell's tips were educational. See the compressed air discussion thread

In addition to text articles, this subforum will also allow posting of short movies. Again, the objective is to show how something is done. Movies should have a main goal. For example, how to use a bowl gouge, or how to sharpen a skew gouge.

Since movies can occupy lots of bandwidth, they will initially be limited to 2.0 MB. And they are currently limited to WMV and MPG formats.

Questions and discussion about this subforum are encouraged. And it would be great if folks submitted some tips or techniques!! :cool2:

Excellent idea! Thanks Jeff!

Some questions come by regularly. It will be more efficient to refer readers to the proper article in this forum.

I just posted an article about out of round pen barrels, since the subject comes up very often. I hope it will be useful to others.

Thanks, Jeff, and best regards!

 

[Jeff Jilg]

Thanks Fred ! I hope folks take advantage of this section to share their knowledge on different topics. The tips you provided for the Pen turning are a great addition to this subforum.

Also, I'm hoping folks take advantage of the ability to submit movies. I had to get that approved by the Board Internet committee.

Thanks Rick, it's now "stuck".

Originally this subforum was going to be moderated to monitor and approve videos. But we have had no video submissions. I'll probably pull the moderation feature off at the end of this week. If we start getting a flood of video submissions I can always turn the moderation feature back on.

 

[Jeff Jilg]

Pulling off the moderation feature for now. If we get inappropriate submissions then we can always turn it back on, or if we get any videos, ditto.
