I still remember when you had your doubts that you would ever call yourself a woodworker. I would now almost put you in the “master craftsmen category”

I’ll see if I don’t have some archived photos of a project or two I can add to the new forum..

Oh dude. Not even close. I mean, I might be a master plywoodcraftsman but man… even that is a very big stretch.

There's a post somewhere on here that is dedicated to woodworking. Would it be possible to move it to this forum to get the ball rolling.

If it's the thread in General Discussion, I was going to move it here.

However, Ryan posted a link here in the end of that thread. Maybe after some time of the section getting a foothold, we'll get it moved.

I'm not much of a woodworker myself but I appreciate good craftsmanship and I'm looking forward to seeing what others post. I posted a short thread on what passes for woodwork in my shop just to get the section of the forum going. You can find that here -> A quick desk project

Wood you please stop with the puns. It's good to see Ryan is branching out, so we don't get board. Don't be a square peg in a round hole. Can I make it any planer?

Hate to admit it, that was not intended.

My point being, "inching" yourself--cutting a board an inch short--is a common problem in construction carpentry and results in the board not being usable for its intended purpose. Inching one's self in (crude) metalwork just means some ****-welding and grinding. It's possible, anyway.

I misplaced my board stretcher years ago and haven't been able to locate a new one since.

Definition of woodworking:
Buy top quality wood.
Plan the project down to the 1/32"
Measure the pieces, and cut to exact
sweep up the saw dust
go sit down and have a beer
Go back to the store and buy new top-quality wood
and start all over because you measured wrong!

"Honey? This table seem awfully small."

"Sorry, dear, I cut the top too short so I just kept cutting more off 'til I got it to fit."

Thank you Ryan, for creating the woodworking section. I probably won't be posting in it but I can appreciate good project. As a teenager, my summer job in high school, I got to work with some individuals who could do amazing work.
