Is there a well-trafficked woodworking forum on the net somewhere?

I'm going to start soon on some home projects, and I'm trying to get all the info that I can. I believe I've watched the DIY channel the entire weekend 🙂. Anywho, I want some great info on ideas and techniques, as well be able to ask questions about types of wood and anything I run into.

So, where on the net is the best woodworking forum? As usual, a forum that has high membership and lots of regular posters would do the trick just fine 🙂.

I've got a few projects in mind. The first of which will be a workbench in the garage. I consider that a must before anything else. In the coming months after that, I'd like to build a new shelving system for the laundry room (as what's in there right now is unattractive and not practical at all), re-do some trim in the hallway (and hopefully the rest of the house eventually), and refinish a very old dresser that my wife and I use that was handed down to her from her mother and aunt (we estimate it to be atleast 40 years old or more).
 
do you have a router and a router table?

there are a bunch of great plans online for a workbench... want to start one myself.

Nope, no router (table). I'm currently building an aresenal of tools, although I have a LONG way to go. Next on my list is a circular saw, if that tells you how little I have right now. But with just that purchase, I can start on the workbench.

I've been looking at many, many workbench designs, and I just don't know which is for me. I think they are all a bit too specialized, so I'm leaning towards something very simple, with a large workspace and storage drawers. Hypothetically, if I were to decide to start building it tomorrow, my biggest hold-up is not knowing what kind of wood to use, and where to get it locally. So I still have a lot of research before I can start anything. Besides all that, I haven't even decided on a final spot in the garage for it yet 🙂.
