After viewing lots of blogs, tweets, FB postings and the like I kinda got the feeling that  woodworkers are alot like people in what they call the “professional” field.

What I mean is that there seems to be an “Us and Them” type of feeling involving both hand tool and power tool woodworkers.  It kinds of reminds me of the old company rivalry of architects & engineers.  Both need each other but both despise working with the other.

Now I’m not saying woodworkers despise each other but it does seem we tend to drift to one side or the other.

With that being said I’ve been working on developing an idea/contest in where the woodworking community would bring both sides, if you will, of the craft together in order to learn from each other and allow each woodworker to grow in the craft.  This would coincide with expanding to share that knowledge with today’s youth and introduce them into the craft.

Where this idea/project goes I honestly do not know yet.  At this point it is completely in its  infancy stage.   What I do know is that the first step of that idea is getting a little feedback with this short survey.

So if you have a minute I’d appreciate it if you would click the link below and take the survey.  Also feel free to leave your comments on this idea and your interest in it.
