What does your "worthwhile resource" list include?

[Steve Clarkson]

The Creek is hands down the BEST forum I have found when it comes to laser engraving!

I have found a few other forums (Laserists, World of Engraving, etc.) but typically the last post was three or more days ago, there are no "experts" like there are here, etc. so I generally find it a waste of time to even visit those forums.

But are there other GOOD/WORTHWHILE forums for laser engraving out there? How about one geared toward CorelDRAW?

Now, I'm not just asking about forums either......I'm actually trying to weed through the MILLIONS of websites out there to find GOOD/WORTHWHILE resources.......whether it be a forum, a newsletter, an E-Zine, a book, a course, etc.

So what do you belong or subscribe to? What are the good ones? Which ones are a waste of time? Which ones are just advertisements in disguise? Which ones are worth the subscription price?

MY LIST of "Worthwhile Resources" so far includes the Creek, the Epilog resources (their Sample Club, etc.), and A&E's E-Zine.

So what are your worthwhile resources?

I'm a font junkie and I like freebies, so I recommend Dafont.com :)

Not forums, necessarily, but we have a list of Corel-related links here:

How come I never saw the Indestructables website before! I like it, I've bookmarked it because I can see me spending quite a bit of time browsing for ideas. Thanks!

This website has a good collection of unique vectors.

Hey Frank if you like the destructables DIY materials, check out www.videojug.com (http://www.videojug.com) some pretty good tutorials there. I found the vids about how to not make an ass of myself particularly helpful :rolleyes: 2 sec T shirt folding was good too!

OK, I have given sufficient warning, It's a Firefox browser plug-in.
