Where to from here guys?

RCM has gone down the toilet and is now mostly paranoid survivalist
crossposts and political comment.


Recommendations on some good (well moderated) metal working forums?


Thanks

What was the last metalworking post you wrote?

I'm more a reader than a poster.

I've learned a great deal from many of the regulars here.


Tom, I've been here quite a while as a lurker - off the top of my head
you've got an orchard. I recall reading quite a few interesting posts
about your machinery builds and repairs.

I don't post much at all as I have little to contribute!


Perry,

I think you're going to find that the moderated groups on web also have
their own pros and cons. WMMV.

Most of the one's that I'm in are pretty narrow in their focus: specific
to a machine I happen to own, or one of the subcategories of machining
that I do as a hobby - and most of mine are on yahoo groups.

To suggest any, people would need to know more about what you're looking
for.



I guess I like RCM as it used to have posts about all sorts of machining
- metal, plastics, CNC, info on jigs or techniques, de-rusting,
adhesives, welding - basically anything and everything.

I'll check out some of the yahoo groups.

Thanks.
