WOOD SHOW RESOURCES

Are you planning on setting up a LumberJocks display at an upcoming wood show or community event? Looking for fellow LumberJocks to support the project and to get together at the event? We can help by providing:
* a PDF flyer
* promotion via the eMag
* arrangements for the LumberJocks banner to be shipped to you

Contact us for more information on the supports available and to add the event (and request for volunteers) in an upcoming eMag.

Event Volunteers Needed
Saratoga Springs, NY: March 26/27. Sikrap is organizing a LumberJocks display table. Volunteers get free admission! More information can be found here.
 

FLAGGING SITE CONTENT

"Flags" have been introduced so members can help identify postings and comments that are not fitting with the site rules or have been posted in the wrong location.

Once an entry has been flagged, it will be checked and assessed by the team (taking into consideration the number of times an entry has been flagged) and a decision will be made as to whether it needs to be addressed and, if so, what action should be taken.

"THE BIG EVENT" - Get-Together

September, 2012: Location: Canada (Southwestern Ontario)
All LumberJocks, GardenTenders, and HomeRefurbers are invited for a get-together on my rather small acre of land. Could get interesting, don't you think? Read more about this event here.

Over the few years, we have mulled around the idea of having "classes" as part of the LumberJocks experience. This past year, we have tested the waters, thanks to the unsolicited presentations by:
* Andy (art boxes)
* Jordan (shoe carving), and
* Stefang (antique wooden bucket).

We have now officially made "LumberJocks' Classes" part of our online community. A class is different than a tutorial in that the participants build a designated project right alongside the instructor, getting step-by-step directions and supports. Completion of the project, by the designated completion date, results in (drum roll, please) the precious treasure of a special LumberJock Certificate.

INTERVIEW WITH A LUMBERJOCK

Whittling toys with a pocket knife from his grandparents is where it all began for TopamaxSurviror and, now, one of his greatest joys is creating toys for his grandkids.
Read his story here.

SHOP TOUR OF THE MONTH

Have you have a dreamed about building a workshop and the plans kept evolving into this spectacular multi-roomed, multi-functional space? Well this is what I imagined happened with the shop of WistysWoodWorkingWonders.

Read about my shop tour here.

TUTORIAL OF THE MONTH

Simple quick box ~ by Patron
A couple planks of lumber, some hardware and, according to Patron, a total of 5 hours of woodworking, and voila - a beautiful "quick and simple" box.

PROJECT OF THE MONTH

"Go Fly a Kite!" - by hairy
Every child and every adult should fly a kite at least once a year. It's good for the health. These kite reels would definitely make the adventure an extraordinary one!
 

BLOG OF THE MONTH

"Discovering Wood" ~ by DocT.
DocT's description of his goals is inspiring. He is seeking:
* an "intimate working knowledge of exotic woods from the local urban forest! [...] I want to obtain sample logs from a whole host of native and ornamental species. I want to turn these samples. I want to mill these samples. I hope to chronicle the discoveries of my journey. Hopefully, it will be informative to you as well."
~DocT

There is a saying that goes, "April Showers bring May Flowers". Well, April is around the corner and a hat is a great thing to have during a rainy season.
How about a LumberJocks' hat?
