I want to discuss my goals for the woodshop and ways that I can help the woodshop thrive. However, this is a community space, so I also want input from others on these topics. I also am soliciting help in keeping the woodshop going. The goal isn't to accomplish any specific tasks at this time, but there's nothing saying we can't.
No registration needed. Just show up and participate. I look forward to seeing anybody that wants to show up and contribute!
