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'm recovering from a bout of bronchitis, but maybe this weekend I'll be in good enough shape to wear my dust mask for long enough to finish up the shooting board I need to help straighten the 1x2s for the next shop furniture project. (The longer-term project of curing my miserliness so that I don't feel obliged to straighten cheap lumber that's bowed instead of buying new is . . . a work in progress.)

I think this community is doing okay. Could use a few more posters, but that's the kind of thing that will only come with time.

Perhaps of interest to other posters here: Humble Bundle currently has a bundle of woodworking ebooks from Taunton Press available. I have paper copies of a couple from this lot already, and they're pretty good.
