If you are a member of the Tennessee Valley Woodworkers, or feel

There are 15 Forums at the moment on various aspects of
woodworking. You’ll see this on the first page. Click on the forum you wish
to look into. You’ll go to another page on which various topics may appear
or on which you can start a new topic.
To open a new topic, just click on the colorful
button named “NEWTOPIC” and type in a name for a topic and your entry. It can be a
question, a statement, or any other form you choose. To reply to a posted
topic, just click on the “POSTREPLY” button.
To open an existing topic, click on the name of the
topic you wish to see. For example: From the first page, I click on
Design. That brings up a new page
with a topic named Sketchup. I
click on Sketchup and that brings
up a page with a name Learning Tools
(because I wish information on learning Sketchup). Clicking on that brings
up a page with an on-going dialog between several members interested in
Sketchup. As time goes on, there may be more pages added.
We don’t think it’ll take much instruction for you to figure out
how to use the forum, but if once registered, you do have trouble with any
aspect of the forum look at the bottom of the main forum page to find “The
Team”, click on that link and choose one or more of the members to
contact for help. Expect the team to change from time to time.
We hope that you will have a good time with this addition to the
Club’s on-line experience. We wouldn’t expect any untoward behavior to occur
on our forum and we’ve not established a lot of rules to restrict you, but
Moderators are empowered to
remove any posts considered offensive
in their judgment. Just
remember your Mother’s admonitions and everything will be OK.
Have a good time on the forum, learn and share your knowledge with
the rest of us, and
Be Nice!
(Thanks Mom!)
The Team!
