Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Getting my wood shop set back up after moving earlier this year. It's really nice to be back to building things.
Ohh what have you built before? Like furniture?
Oh all sorts of stuff. Dog beds, shelves, a few side tables, record crates, display shelves, railings, etc. If it's something I want, I typically try to build it.
Wood-working is one of those hobbies that impresses me thoroughly to see others do. That's really cool that you build stuff like that! I bet they look so much nicer than something from Ikea or whatever lol
It depends on how much effort I'm willing to put into it 😅. It takes a lot of patience and a lot of ability to improvise around the inconsistency of wood as a building material lol. It loves to warp and crack.
What's your craft?
Color me impressed! My dad would make stuff from wood here and there. Patience is definitely needed haha. I can almost hear him muttering under his breath at a snag in his work flow even now :)
Oh I dabble in stuff - baking and cooking, playing violin, photography. I photographed weddings for a little over a decade. That’s probably my favorite craft that I’ve honed through the years.
Respect for being able to handle wedding photography lol. I was a wedding DJ for a few years and people get crazy about their photography. That's why I've always tried to stick to critters and plants for my photography. They don't tend to care much for how they look.
