AAW Forum Members - as you may have noticed, we decided to hide this thread last night as some of the posts in the thread were going against the forum rules; no self-promotion, keeping all conversations relevant to woodturning and keeping all conversations civil along with making sure there are no personal attacks against other forum members, the AAW or specific AAW Staff and Board members. Due to violations of these rules, this thread was locked and hidden last night to let things cool down. I have deleted a few of the posts in the thread that went against these rules but I am now unlocking the thread.
Please remember the AAW Forums are volunteer member managed and moderated. While Bill, Emiliano and I run the forums, we are not AAW Staff or AAW Board members, but what we do here directly reflects on the AAW itself, so we try to enforce these rules as fairly as possible. The forums are for open for discussion and while we understand from time to time, a topic can turn contentious, we ask that you stay on topic, follow the rules and keep civil with each other and stay away from attacking anyone. A good example of what this thread should have been was the one John Kelsey started yesterday about this same topic. We hope this thread becomes constructive and helpful to all the members here but if things turn for the worse we will have to lock it again. Thank you for your help!
