Greetings Fediverse woodworkers

Our little corner of the internet remains a happy, friendly and mostly wholesome place, barring the occasional bawdy joke. Steady stream of project sharing and technique discussion.

I figure about once a season I'm going to check in with the community at large to ask y'all if we can make it better. Any ideas for community activities or events? Anything you'd like to see around here? Anything cool you want to build?

I hope you do get over that bronchitis. As for warped wood, I'll sometimes buy a crooked piece along with straighter ones because I know I'm going to chop one of them into smaller bits to make short little rails and such. IIRC the rails on the doors for the hutch I made last year were like 8 inches long. Cutting a board into relatively small pieces takes a surprising amount of the bow out.

My main aim is to encourage more of what we got.

And that book bundle looks like quite a deal. That sort of thing...I don't exactly want to flood the place with every $5 off power drills coupon issued in the world but please folks feel free to post great deals on books and such.
