A handmade home for woodworkers and admirers of woodworkers. Our community icon is a planter box made by @Captain Aggravated, the winner of our summer '24 woodworking contest. Congratulations!

Let your partner know that many communities have Maker groups that have large tools available for members (as well as people to share their knowledge and experience). It can be a lot easier to pay modest monthly dues than buy your own equipment (and have space for it). The one nearest to me has woodworking tools, 3d printers, EE equipment, and so on.
