Time for a Reality Check and encouragement to New builders.!

[EddyCurrent]

I think part of the blame is the way the forum works, the same questions keep cominmg round e.g. MDF built machines.
It would be better if there were discreet sections where discussion could take place, for example, 'Router Frames'
In that section there would be discussion to the n'th degree about frames, new users could take a look and use information to build their own frame to whatever level they wanted. There would be no posts like "MDF frames are shite" because there would be a sub section under 'Router Frames' for that. Same would apply to other components of the machine.
Things like Rails, Spindle, etc. would have their own sections.

Router Type Machines
. Frames
... Steel
... Wood
... Aluminium
Gantry
Bed
Z axis


Edit: I'm thinking back to my Lego machine idea where you pick'n'mix your parts from the various sub sections of the forum.

For example I would submit drawings for my frame and gantry for anyone to download, tweak, build but at the moment I think they would just get lost in the mountain of info.
