Pretty neet, If I may ask, what is with all the advertising? Is this
from the hosting company (free site?). Just seemed like a lot of ads/
banners and thought I would ask.

I hope you're not paying for hosting service. The first page took
over a minute to load so I didn't explore the rest of the site.

Site design rule #1: response to URL in 8 seconds, page complete in 30
seconds.

Even cheap hosting ($18/year) is much faster:

Pictures tell the story better than words. Too many hops to get to the
point.
PHOTOS, PHOTOS,and MORE PHOTOS. Size them accordingly and make
them clear!

I'll have more later.

Something that I always like, Randy, is
consistent navigation. You have a
boilerplate nav bar on the first page,
and you use components of it throughout.

But when I design a site, I usually use
the first page nav bar (vertical,
horizontal) and leave it there on each
page, unless I'm strapped for space. It
gives the user more choices with fewer
clicks.

I am not super web design saavy but do you get paid for the ads?

I will be honest and say I didnt spend a ton of time on the site but
when I went to the furniture section I thought I would see images of
your work but only found plans in the page or two I went to. As
another post said, it seemed like a lot of hops to get to a
destination but I can see that happening when you want to get to a
specific bit of content.

I will bop back over but my initial thing was the amount of ads and
banners. I am not opposed to some ads (though I would rather see none)
but when they get distracting its tough. If you are getting paid for
them I can see where getting carried away would be easy. I personally
have NEVER clicked on an ad embedded in a site, that said, I am sure
they are everywhere (not just your site) because a lot of people do
click on them.

Fair enough, ad I said I will cut back on the adds and start to add
pictures of my projects. I have also tried to input as many free plan
links as I could find quality plans. As I build the site, I hope to
put my own plans on here,
And yes you get paid for ads on the site but not alot, but it does
help to pay for the hosting sevices.
Thanks for your input..Im always trying to improve.

Seems like a nice start. I don't mind the ads so much, as long they
aren't popups or the kind that expand over the content...I don't
return to sites with those. Just curious: are you allowed to post
those reprints of articles from Wood magazine? Aren't they
copyrighted?

absolute positioning of items (not generally needed or recomended) mean
that there is only one text size that works. this is then difficult for
those who like or need larger type sizes.

As an example on http://nokeswoodworks.com/eacf-book.html
the text is badly formatted br soft is the same as br. There is no
need to format line length.

the HTML is badly broken to check you can use
http://validator.w3.org/

Here is part of the report for that page

This page is not Valid (no Doctype found)!
Result:
Failed validation, 40 Errors

The following missing or conflicting information caused the validator to
perform guesswork prior to validation. If the guess or fallback is
incorrect, it may make validation results entirely incoherent. It is
highly recommended to check these potential issues, and, if necessary,
fix them and re-validate the document.

No Character Encoding Found! Falling back to UTF-8.

None of the standards sources gave any information on the character
encoding labeling for this document. Without encoding information it
is impossible to reliably validate the document. As a fallback
solution, the "UTF-8" encoding was used to read the content and attempt
to perform the validation, but this is likely to fail for all
non-trivial documents.

Read the FAQ entry on character encoding for more details and pointers
on how to fix this problem with your document.

Unable to Determine Parse Mode!

The validator can process documents either as XML (for document types
such as XHTML, SVG, etc.) or SGML (for HTML 4.01 and prior versions).
For this document, the information available was not sufficient to
determine the parsing mode unambiguously, because:
€¢ the MIME Media Type (text/html) can be used for XML or
SGML document types
€¢ No known Document Type could be detected
€¢ No XML declaration (e.g ?xml version="1.0"?) could be
found at the beginning of the document.

As a default, the validator is falling back to SGML mode.

No DOCTYPE found! Attempting validation with HTML 4.01 Transitional.

The DOCTYPE Declaration was not recognized or is missing. This
probably means that the Formal Public Identifier contains a spelling
error, or that the Declaration is not using correct syntax. Validation
has been performed using a default "fallback" Document Type Definition
that closely resembles "HTML 4.01 Transitional", but the document will
not be Valid until you have corrected this problem with the DOCTYPE
Declaration.

Learn how to add a doctype to your document from our FAQ.

Validation Output: 40 Errors
Line 3, Column 0: no document type declaration;
implying "!DOCTYPE HTML SYSTEM".
html
?

The checked page did not contain a document type ("DOCTYPE")
declaration. The Validator has tried to validate with a fallback DTD,
but this is quite likely to be incorrect and will generate a large
number of incorrect error messages. It is highly recommended that you
insert the proper DOCTYPE declaration in your document -- instructions
for doing this are given above -- and it is necessary to have this
declaration before the page can be declared to be valid.
Line 21, Column 82: there is no attribute
"TOPMARGIN".
€¦="#0000FF" vlink="#800080" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0"
?

You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the
document type you are using does not support that attribute for this
element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict"
document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the
"Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by
using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is
usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).

This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in
the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no
supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error
message for further information.

How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute,
(Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both
allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this
attribute. If you received this error when using the embed element to
incorporate flash media in a Web page, see the FAQ item on valid flash.

"LEFTMARGIN".
