I am on the hunt for people who make things. Physical things. Physical things in a workshop. Or at home. Or in a studio. Or outside. But they have to be physical things. And you make them. Handmade or with machines.
I’d like to follow you and see what you make.
Please can you boost this post so that I get some reach on this post.
Many thanks.

I’m finally to the finishing stage of the cabinet that I’ve been working on, and I put the first coat of oil on the marquetry door.
As I was about to start putting oil on, I noticed that there were some spots in the top left corner where the glue hadn’t adhered properly, and some of the veneer wasn’t sticking to the MDF underneath. The reason I noticed was because I could hear a difference in sound as I ran my fingers over it.
It’s amazing, at least as a hearing person, how much of woodworking involves listening. Usually it’s listening to the machines - things like gauging whether blades are making a clean cut or knowing when to stop lowering the sander - but sometimes it’s listening to the wood itself, in a very literal way.
I was able to use an X-Acto knife to smoosh glue under the pieces of veneer that were coming up, so hopefully that problem is now fixed.
I am looking for like-minded people in the fediverse for sharing thoghts, projects and information about woodworking, woodcarving and especially spoon carving. How can I find these people?
Are there any existing groups or servers with these topics?
Retoots / Boosts are appreciated!

Como me encantan éstas transiciones que hacen en algunos tiktoks de #woodworking
Si fuera así de fácil perdería el chiste y encanto del arte claro.
But is so #satisfying
I had an oak board and an old stick of (I think) a hazel branch sitting around. So having done a little reading about rustic furniture, I got inspired and made a little milking stool.
I know it's considered "bad taste" by some but I really like this style. I also think it's kinda cute that the natural bends of the legs anthropomorphize the stool. It looks like it's taking a step.
