Hey, glad you found your way here. If you've been reading the site for a while, you already know what this is about. If you just stumbled in, the short version is this: I'm a dad who is figuring out woodworking, trying not to overbuy tools I don't need, and documenting the whole messy process along the way. The forum is meant to be an extension of that. A place where people at all stages of the maker journey can ask questions, share what they're working on, and talk through the stuff that doesn't always make it into a blog post.

What Is the "Created by Humans" Era?So what do I mean by that? Well, we've been watching the AI slop era grow for a couple of years now. It's this creeping reality where more and more of what we see online, and even the products we buy for our homes, our yards, basically anything…

In the past, did you regularly participate in forums? Most notably contributing to adding threads and posts, and now making an effort to try to regain that feeling again?
