Good Woodworking Group?
 

What's a good woodworking group? I'm doing a lot of model airplane work
these days. It's driving me to build my own tools, as well maintaining
my chisels to a higher level of keenness than I've ever done before
(balsa wood is very unforgiving of a dull blade).

So I want to start lurking, eventually start asking questions about good
books and/or sites to learn more about building tools of my own design,
just what is the right way to set up a chisel, etc.

Thanks.

rec.woodworking is a pretty good group.

About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube, then
they come up with this striped stuff.

When I have the time I hang with the neanderthals at the old tools
mailing list, as being somewhat higher s/n than rec.woodworking, but
currently I have about 15,000 unread messages in that mailbox, as I've
been short of time. Typical email listserve arrangement. Blurb follows:

OldTools is a mailing list catering to the interests of hand tool
aficionados, both collectors and users, to discuss the history, usage,
