wait what? have you guys already discuss all thousands type of woods, each with its own characteristics, application and unique treatments?
you also discussed in deep all the exotic tools the far east has been using for thousand of years?
and all the wood joinery used by Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese people? there are like hundreds of those which with different usage.
are you saying that your community has already discussed all of that already? that's really awesome!
- wayfinder 3y agoI mean the things you listed aren’t going to generate a lot of discussion topics. You might make a general thread about x86 opcodes and it would run its course but you wouldn’t make a new thread for every opcode in x86 because you’d merc everyone with boredom. Communities are for general discussion. If you desire a thorough look of all sorts of Asian (or Western) joinery, you’d specifically look for a book or website, maybe asking a forum for pointers, but the forum itself ain’t the place. Plus at some point, because none of what you mentioned is new, it will eventually be discussed. Then death.

- MichaelZuo 3y agoIt seems doubtful that the pool of novel woodworking topics has run dry. Let's say someone wants to build an entire house out of solid ebony, that could generate hundreds of hours of interesting discussion.
