those subreddits are obviously gross and bad and it reflects badly on the site administration that they’re still around but it’s not like the vast majority of the sites userbase knows about or actually posts on them

talking about people ‘outing themselves as redditors’ is embarrassing lmao cmon
There's a difference between deliberately self-identifying IRL as a redditor/goon/whatever and saying "Oh yeah I use this aggregate site sometimes" and it's not clear which one makes ok comboomer write off someone entirely as a human.

But I think the point we can all agree on is that nobody cares who ok comboomer writes off entirely as a human.

I use her plans a lot since you only need home depot grade lumber. You're gonna need stuff like a miter saw, pocket hole jig, a sander, and a brad nailer which may be a bit steep for entry into a hobby. But you definitely make up for it if you make enough stuff. Lucky "rustic" and "farmhouse" is very in right now which lends itself well to beginner furniture.

The point you're not grasping is that high horsing any other website through the lens of SA is problematic at worst and laughable at best.

"The inside wet" is very good.

Also I smell a new Justin bit. Looking for the theme song, and come to think of it, surprised the dude hasn't released his own lounge-singer styled christmas album yet.

I can’t speak for every family, but my family did not want my lovely woodworking projects that I was very proud of.

It was still fun to learn though, but ended up being a thing that was just for my own enjoyment.

Woodworking is a very satisfying, meditative, and useful skill! I highly recommend it. I've made two chicken coops, a bench, shelves, a (terrible) violin, birdhouses... it's a good time.

Woodworking seems like a fun practical skill, but hard to get into when you live in an upper floor apartment with no outdoor space.

Not a Dickman, just a shape
I took up a bit of wood working

It was a fun experience and I got to use trigonometry in a practical way that made my life better

I made a quail coop

Yeah, that's kind of my situation. I looked into it though and there is a woodshop open to people who want to take woodworking courses. It seems pretty cool, now I just need a babysitter lol. They probably don't want a two year old in there.

I’d be super interested in some two brother wood working content, ngl. I know everyone has thoughts about Travis but I’d be interested to see how he and Justin perform together alone. If my personal experience is anything to go on it’s going to mostly dunking as hard as possible on the youngest brother.

I have a feeling that Justin's bit about "every question is the same thing everybody just wants to get out" was probably not much of an exaggeration.
