ok this is NOT my idea!!!! it was mentioned to me by a good friend..we have had spinny swaps and flat work swaps and combo swaps and just plain gadget swaps.. and in my experince it has been fun and rewarding to see our froum work together in a positive way.. we dont need competion to survive we need team work.. and a group effort towards a final result..
so here is what i am relaying to you folks and give me your thoughts on this idea that isnt mine..
have a project , be it a wall cabinet like glenn is making or some other project that requires some skills that you or i may not have the best handle on but threw the forums member that do can help us threw it.. for example jays organ build,, that has been one very fun and a definite learning experience for those who made one and those of us who didnt to see what all goes into one.. lets say for example the project was a end table, with a drawer, maybe we want to try and do some beading like rob did on his vanity or some detail like glenn did in the leg detail or many other things that can go into this table.. no real fast deadline but something that when we are done we can learn from and either keep it or maybe donate to a charity to auction off for the sake of the charity.. but we can learn from each other like jay and his crownies taught us to make a organ.. i am not trying to cut out the spinny guys so maybe a spinny project as well if they were wanting to have one.. but maybe the spinny guys want to try a flat work job,, so lets discuss this idea and see if we cant get the forum back to wood working and not the hustle bustle of worldly things like videos and game boys.. this forum was set up as a wood working forum and in my opinion we need to get some more of that in it.. when you see a wood working project only get a handful of replys it tends to deter the person from contributing next time.. i am guilty of not showing projects just as other are but i am trying to get this back on track.. this is just my opinion so do as you will with it but i feel we can learn from each other in a group project.. so tell me and the rest of the forum your thoughts
