[Jeff]

Want to win an honest to goodness Yooper Magazine?  Figure out what is going to go here. This board will be a perk for members and not available to those that are not registered or logged in.

First person to guess close wins an issue of Da Porcupine Press.

[Mr Mom]

     Thanks Alot Mr Mom

[jerry-m]

An insperation board to encourage one to get up out of their chair and go get something constructive done ??? ??? ???

Well Thats What My Wife is alway saying :  Git er done

[Furby]

It da Yooper section?

[jon12345]

Must be somethin really special if ya gotta be registered AND logged in to view it here are my guesses  

1.  List of what everone had for dinner
2.  An online newsletter
3.  Everyone's lottery #'s for the day from a world renowned psychic

[Paschale]

A grits support group?  And I mean of the 12-step variety.   :D

[JimBuis]

That would be the Forestry Forum "Personals"! :D  To help help the handsome tree huggers meet the lovely tree huggers. 8) 8)  Okay....maybe not?

[Roxie]

Could it be the long awaited FOOD section?   :D

[woodmills1]

from the name I am thinking horses.

[SwampDonkey]

Well ermm BOSS  ;D My wild and out of the blue guess  :, since I see who's moderating it,  ;D is.....

     






Computers and Software Help[/size]

               

Just waiting to get shot down on this.       


               

[BBTom]

It could be the horse-logger section...  Or is it more like Get it U.P....  Things from the upper peninsula....  Or maybe it could be for the boys up north when stuck in the cabin too long..Giddy Yoopers.  

That must be it,  I just had to talk it out,  It must be the Yooper joke section!!!!

[Patty]

A horselogger section would be way cool.   smiley_horserider   So would the food section.....but wait! Aren't all the sections food sections ?  :D  digin_2

[Radar67]

The downunder do it all board?

Stew

[Jeff]

Yer all off.  :D   I mean that you are not near what the topic will be.  THe "giddiup" was just a filler word that popped into my mind while setting up the board. It refers to nothing. The moderators chosen however, might give a clue. 

[thurlow]

Hmmmmmmmm..........so what do we know about Ianab?  44 yr old New Zealand male; eats marmots on toast.  Marmots.......large ground squirrels (food?????), may have carried the bubonic plague.  Yuk!!!!!!!

[Texas Ranger]

Two guesses:

1.  Folks you make fun of,   or
2.  Tree monkey site 8)

[Fla._Deadheader]

I wuz thinkin a Langwidge interpretation board ??  Yooper is strange, and Chet can interpret. Kiwi, I have heard and do understand most of. Now, AUSSIE, them folks talk REAL strange. Then we got Swede, and Finns and Spanish and, and, and, lots of different langwidges

[Jeff]

Its lookin like I'm going to have to keep my porcupine press all to myself. :-\ ;) :D

[OneWithWood]

My first thought was Chet's diary - abridged  :D

But that left Ianab out.

Now I am thinking a fine woodworking or furniture making board.

[Radar67]

An information board on tree climbing and removal.

Stew

[sawguy21]

Now there is a great idea.

[Jeff]

I said you only had to be close!  Onewithwood is pretty durn close!  We have had requests before over the years and many recent requests and have considered this a few times but decided not to do it for various reasons, but lately the related topics seem to be part of many of the different boards so we thought it time we dedicate the space to our members specifically for this topic.  We don't have any plans on it being a full blown wood working site with a bunch of different boards, but lets see how it goes.

The are will be called General Woodworking.     Many of our old members take pleasure in this pastime, hobby or sometimes business and as it seems, many of our newer members. Heck, two thirds of our admins are active woodworkers and the rest of us wannabes or the closet type. :D

Anyhow, we decided to give it a go and hope that you find the board beneficial. As I mentioned before, this will not be a public board, it will be only for registered Forestry Forum members.

ONEWITHWOOD! SHOOT ME YOUR ADDRESS PLEASE! ;D

Well Jeff, don't ya think it's about time to stop stumbling around in a dark closet?  ;D


Congrats OneWithWood, couldn't have happened to a nicer fella. Ok, before someone gets upset  : there are lots of good fellas on here. ;D

[Norm]

Cool! Although I'm not sure I'm ready to come out of the closet just yet. :D

Thanks Jeff.

[Larry]

Had this one all figured out but...day late and dollar short...story of my life.  Well maybe I didn't have it quite figured out until I got OWW's clue. ;D

Had Jeff, ya outa have an initiation rite...anybody that posts has to have a square up on your ceiling.  Guess you could make an exception for FDH...he has the right intent. :D :D :D :D :D

[Don K]

Yahoo!  8) 8) 8) 8)  I love woodworking! Drawing the plans now for a 24X40 woodworking shop with a finishing room added on. Been a dream for years. Got a digital camera for Christmas, now I just need to tackle the posting thread. I hope to let y'all join me during the whole process.    Don

[Onthesauk]

Good addition Jeff!  I don't do as much woodworking as I use to, but love seeing some of the beautiful stuff people here have built.  Patty should probably be a mod.

[Brad_S.]

Great addition.

I should have known when I saw Ianab was moderating, he's one of the few at WoodNew whose posts I consistantly agree with. ;D

Feeding my woodworking hobby was the reason I bought a sawmill to start with. I don't have much time for ww anymore because of the sawmill, but I still enjoy it when I can.

[DWM II]

This will be a favorite stop for me even though I havent stepped into the closet yet. I am the supreme wanna-be ww.

[jerry-m]

Great idea 8)

Have loved woodworking all my live... Took all the shop classes in high school they would let me... At 18 ys. old went to work in a foundry pattern shop... Was the most rewarding job I ever had... Have always had a home woodworking shop...

Thanks for the new board,   Jerry

[Burlkraft]

You just got tired of movin' misplaced woodworking threads..... ;D ;D ;D

[getoverit]

GREAT idea Jeff!

I'm kinda leaning towards spending the long hot summers inside doing woodworking, so this forum should fill a good need for me ;)

[OneWithWood]

[SwampDonkey]

Well, get measuring and cutting everyone.  8) 8)

[pasbuild]

Congratulations OWW on winnin da highly acclaimed cultural rich porky rag.

[Jeff]

I tink the Porcupine Press is like reading a copy of dat old GRIT magazine, only yooperized. :D

[Don_Papenburg]

And second prize is a years subscription to the yupper magazine ;D

[pigman]

Good addition to the forum. 8)  Now I won't have to search all over the forum on how to build furniture the correct way. ;)  I tried to build furniture in a closet once, but by the time I got all the cool tools in the closet there wasn't any room to work.


Bob

[SwampDonkey]

pigman, I'm still trying to find pics of that pecan bed, but all I see it white space. ;D In the computer business, it's what they call 'vapourware'.  :D ;)

[Stephen1]

great idea, it will be a pleasure to see what everyone is working on. It might even give the rest of some motivation to finnish some projects.

[Todd]

I think this is a great idea!  Lately I've noticed that being surrounded by wood all the time, and trying to make a living at sawing and selling lumber, that I've lost an appreciation for what this wood could be.  Every now and then I find I need to go look through some furniture stores or woodworking magazines to get the imagination going again and stop seeing the piles of wood, but the possibilities therein.

[TexasTimbers]

I don't know I could have possibly missed all this activity on a new section. Heck I missed the section period! Didn't even know it was here til today! that's me though always the last to notice.  :

No never mind . . . we have a woodworking section!!!! Yahooooooooooooooooo!

8)        8)        8)        8)        8)        8)        8)

Thanks Jeff and all who were responsible for the leap! 

[woodsteach]

Kevjay , I missed it also...  Here I sit looking at HD looking for a cheap bathroom vanity while reading the forum woodworking site  :-\.  I agree with Todd, with logging, sawing, and teaching woodworking, I've kinda lost the desire to build... Until this am watching the Yankee guy build a table that hung on a wall and wham back to finishing up some projects.  Then this site will help keep the inspiration going.

Thanks Jeff

[Striker]

Is a porcupine press anything like a cider press? And just what do you do with porcupine juice?

Enquiring minds want to know.

Jeff

[SwampDonkey]

 : : I Dunno Striker, but Robert_R presses skunk juice. I think you could sell just about anything. I'm gonna start a walnut husk juicer and sell that. ;D :D J/K

[pineywoods]

Hey SD, that walnut husk juice ain't a bad idee. When I was a kid, we used to put green walnuts in a burlap bag, beat them up with a hammer, and toss the whole bag into the nearest creek. Makes fish come to the surface where you can dip them up with a dip net. Not as much fun as a cane pole and worms, but beats doing without when the fish don't bite.

[oldsaw]

Well, get measuring and cutting everyone.  8) 8)

"Measure twice, cut once"...Norm's words to live by.
