Woodworkers

[J R Green]

I'm getting back into wood working. In the process of retrofitting my tiny one car garage into a shop and have made everything mobile so I can roll the tools outside for the bigger jobs.

Are there any forums that you frequent that discuss projects and give you ideas?
I'd like to see something run as well as this one and maybe regional.

If links are not allowed you can PM me???

Used to frequent a couple luthier forums when I was building guitars, but they were already fading away 15 years ago.

This one is NC regional. They do lots of shop crawls, sharpening, turning, woodworking shop "classes" and get togethers.
If you have a question, someone there knows the answers.



More national forum is

Here is a site I found a while back . Click the link and there will be a spot on the page to sign up for weekly emails. They have plans that you can purchase but the emails give at least 2 free ones(one of them sometimes repeated the next week) . I have a large collection of plans I have saved from there. Free or paid they have some good stuff from time to time.

The two best that I know of are NCWoodworker.net for local / regional and sawmillCreek.org for national. Stay away from Lumberjacks -too much bad info.

Sawmillcreek.org is one that I have frequented for many years. If you are wanting to really nerd out with hand tools and period furniture making (my particular interest), check out https://sapfm.org/

Also there are seminars on equipment and skills at some of the Klingspor stores. The one in Hickory was one that held them.
