I just found this about a half an hour ago! It's a website with links to literally hundreds of turner websites... I clicked on quite a few with the hopes to gain some inspiration for new forms and embelishments. Prepare to be amazed...

Hi Ben,

Things might have changed a lot, but DMOZ is a search engine run by actual humans. This was at least true about 8 or 9 years ago, as I did this with a website. You submit your website and basically they approve it and enter it into the appropriate category. They even came back with a couple of questions about the site before approving it. It took quite a while before I showed up in their search engine. Once you are in the DMOZ files though, it seems that all of the other big search engines will pick you up from there. Within a couple of weeks, I could find my site on most any search engine. They do have quite a list of woodturning sites though. You can look for hours for ideas.
