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?

A semiannual competition might be cool. Community poll to pick a project (small table, breadbox, bird house, etc), a few months to build and submit and then a winner gets chosen. I imagine the first few contests would be for the love of the game but eventually could figure out prizes like tools?

The contests we've done in the past were for the community picture, like the cutting board currently there. I'd be down for prizes though we'd have to figure out some avenue for funding, I don't personally have a budget for that.

A handmade home for woodworkers and admirers of woodworkers. Our community icon is submitted by @inquanto@lemmy.world, winner of the Christmas 2025 gift contest with a lovely series of hardwood cutting boards.
