@jmk89: @TomsWorkbench @IggyMonkey That’s what comes from having cyclones named after you.:) #woodchat

@jmk89: @TomsWorkbench Very functional – and using old hardware bought off fleaBay #woodchat

@IggyMonkey: @jmk89 I try, man. I try… #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @jmk89 What? You found a big lead screw for the vise? #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: I’m here a bit early. How is everyone? #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: about the only think I did “in the woodshop” this week was a quick video on wood cupping (hidden message there #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: Great @DJOfurnituremkr and you? #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @BoatworksToday There’s a lot to be learned from stuff like that. #woodchat

@IggyMonkey: @DJOfurnituremkr Everyone seems to be doing OK…. You? #woodchat

@uppercutwood: 5 minutes to launch #woodchat #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @DJOfurnituremkr How’s it going Dale? #woodchat

@DyamiPlotke: I will probably miss most of #woodchat tonight, but a big thanks to @TomsWorkbench for organizing #getwoodworking

@DJOfurnituremkr: @WoodworkGuy Very good, spending a lot of time in the studio lately. #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @DJOfurnituremkr that’s awesome, lucky man #woodchat

@IggyMonkey: @DyamiPlotke Don’t suck up to Tom, OK? #woodchat

@jmk89: @TomsWorkbench Yep 1 1/4″ Acme thread and about 18″ long, with handle and threaded nut, garter and the works. #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: I’ll be participating in #woodchat in four minutes from my workshop! All are welcome!

@TomsWorkbench: @uppercutwood I’m just a-Twitter… How are we going to handle the format, Matt? #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: should have the video out by Fri.. taking a different angle on the approach #woodchat

@Tumblewood: IS IT TRUE?? THE Tom Iovino is coming HERE!??! #woodchat

@Tumblewood: IS IT TRUE?? THE Tom Iovino is coming HERE!??! #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: @Tumblewood yeah Vic and he brought his monkey too… #woodchat

@IggyMonkey: @Tumblewood That big Jerk? No way, Vic. It’s me, baby! #woodchat

@Torch02: @Tumblewood The I-O-Vino himself! #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @TomsWorkbench #woodchat Why don’t we discuss what we’ve done so far for GWW, and other ideas of things we could do.

@ramblinrdesigns: Hello all. #woodchat

@IggyMonkey: @WoodworkGuy Oooop Oooop Oooop #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @TomsWorkbench #woodchat we could also discuss how bloggers, anytime of the year, could use a gww tag for specifc targeted posts

@TheRealNeal: Just checking in. How’s it going guys? #woodchat

@uppercutwood: Hey oh! Looks like we’re getting a good crowd. Tom, how about first starting with the idea behind GWW #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: @ramblinrdesigns hey Beth! #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @uppercutwood Excellent.. let me know when you shoot the starter’s pistol #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: Alrighty folks… welcome to Get Woodworking Week #getwoodworking #woodchat

@lucaspeters: Hi all. I’m in and out. Putting the little one to bed. #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: Hello humans and Iggy. #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: I’ve been working on small items for Etsy and for shows: http://t.co/PPb1NLPi #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: Everyone having a good time this week so far? #woodchat

@Tumblewood: The two best things I’ve seen this week came from #GetWoodworking!! #woodchat

@thewoodninja: Evening dudes #woodchat

@IggyMonkey: @benjamenjohnson Ooooop! #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: So what’s the topic tonight? #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: doing great Tom #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @WoodCanuck and @UppercutWood, were the most entertaining!! #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: What is Get Woodworking Week? It’s a week dedicated to attracting new woodworkers to participate in woodworking! #woodchat

@uppercutwood: The topic tonight is Get Woodworking Week. #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: Been a busy week in the shop…which is a good thing. #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: A bunch of us were gathered in the Beale Street cafe… pretty drunk… talking about how to save woodworking #woodchat

@JimAAshley: Hi folks, I’ll be in and out next few minutes. #woodchat

@sharpendwood: Same RT @DyamiPlotke I will probably miss most of #woodchat tonight, but a big thanks to @TomsWorkbench for organizing #getwoodworking

@TheRealNeal: @TomsWorkbench Definitely Tom. I’ll have my own #GetWoodworking post up in the next day or so. #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: @JimAAshley Hey Jim! #woodchat

@Tumblewood: Matt’s piece with his daughter Hayden was adorable and showed how to introduce even little kids to woodworking #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: is this the first annual GWW? #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: Everyone at #WIA seemed to be focusing on what was wrong with woodworking, but we thought why not punch it up? #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: Alright! I’ll be making a Br’all - a simple shop project everyone should have. I’m aiming to have it up on my blog tonight. #woodchat

@Tumblewood: Ian’s piece was pure genius! I laughed my ass off at lunch today! #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @TomsWorkbench I had already left, right? #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: We could post things that could attract new folks to the craft. #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @BoatworksToday You betcha.. the first ever. #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @uppercutwood No, you were super lit and on the other side of the table #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: @TomsWorkbench Save woodworking? Is it in danger? It seems like there’s been a Renaissance as of late #woodchat

@NewtonWoodwork: And I thought the GWW message was directed at me #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: So, over the past few months, I’ve put out an appeal to other bloggers to see if they would participate #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @TomsWorkbench #superlit I love it #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @ChrisHasFlair Br’all? I’m intrigued #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @benjamenjohnson Yes, indeed… the online woodworking movement is VERY MUCH alive and well… #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: I think it’s more about trying to show others how much fun and rewarding woodworking is #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: @Tumblewood Link to Ian’s piece please #woodchat

@BillGriggs: Good evening everyone. #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: That’s the idea! RT @Tumblewood: @ChrisHasFlair Brall? Im intrigued #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: So, everyone was up for it, and I liked the model that @woodwhisperer used for woodworking safety week #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: @TomsWorkbench More vids like Matt;s it goes a long way. Those with kids should give it a try! (another year for me) though #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: @TomsWorkbench Does #getwoodworking have a following? I’ve not heard of it. #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: @BillGriggs Evening Bill #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @WoodworkGuy That’s the idea.. it’s not a stodgy craft done only by old farts in their basements… #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @TomsWorkbench And we want it to thrive. Create beautiful pieces. #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @ramblinrdesigns First time we’ve ever done this… #woodchat

@uppercutwood: Ian’s blogpost @woodcanuck http://t.co/IOWTkDdO #woodchat

@asliceofwood: Hello everyone! #woodchat

@Tumblewood: No, old farts in their stand alone Pasco shops #woodchat

@kring_l: #getwoodworking is a great concept it got my son into my shop doing something for more then 5 minutes #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @Tumblewood Encourage others to find how much fun things could be. Build new stuff to provide more inspiration #woodchat

@BillGriggs: @WoodworkGuy Hi Jeff. #woodchat

@Tumblewood: RT @uppercutwood: Ians blogpost @woodcanuck http://t.co/XThweYwR My favorite post for #GWW #woodchat

@uppercutwood: My #getwoodworking post was my most popular post by far, biggest daily traffic I’ve ever had. #woodchat

@IggyMonkey: Now @TomsWorkbench thinks he runs the show… Talk about someone with a Napoleon complex… #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @TomsWorkbench it’s a move against a disposable society #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: I might not be woodworking, but I had my daughter in my shop working on her science fair experiment this week #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: The #getwoodworking posts have been awesome… I had no idea how funny everyone could be. #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: Indeed Vic! #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: @Tumblewood Thanks! #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @Tumblewood Oh yes… some really sweet stuff is being built… #woodchat

@uppercutwood: For me it’s also about creating memories with my daughter, and helping people getting past inertia and getting in the shop #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: Some posts have been about tools, others about finishing, some about wood choices… it’s been a good variety of posts… #woodchat

@IggyMonkey: @theboisshop - do you have a crush on @uppercutwood? A man-crush perhaps? #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @uppercutwood Exactly… creating memories, projects, the works… #woodchat

@uppercutwood: I liked @logancabinets’s video and posts as well #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: @TomsWorkbench But NONE about the oh-so-useful Br’all! My own original design! #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @theboisshop were you hoping my web cam was on while I powdered my bum? #woodchat

@asliceofwood: @TomsWorkbench almost all have been on a beginners level too, makes it easier to attract newbies #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @ChrisHasFlair Sweet! We need more Br-all! #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: To the point: G+, lumberjocks, et al are great, but the project might be intimidating for newbies. Is there a good forum? #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @ChrisHasFlair sounds klingon #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: Man, I can’t stand the 5-second delay on Tweetchat. #woodchat #impatient

@uppercutwood: I would suggest to all bloggers to have a post tag “getwoodworking” or category. Any post during the year that works, tag it. #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @asliceofwood Exactly… not too newbie and basic, but intriguing… #woodchat

@InGrainWoodwork: @uppercutwood Is there a way to watch your videos without adobe flash? #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: I would suggest to all bloggers to have a post tag “getwoodworking” or category. Any post during the year that works, tag it. #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: (That was an RT from @uppercutwood) #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @uppercutwood Now, here’s a great point… Hashtag chat rules #woodchat

@HighRockWW: Hey #woodchat

@thewoodninja: @ChrisHasFlair Great idea #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: Everyone know what a hashtag is? # #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @benjamenjohnson I think Marc forum has kind and welcoming people. I don’t like some of the other ones. #woodchat

@uppercutwood: it would be cool if any new woodworker could search “woodworking blog getwoodworking” and find all related posts across blogs #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @uppercutwood Good idea, Matt! #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: @TomsWorkbench still learning what all this is… #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @Tumblewood The Wood Talk Online forum is really friendly… #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @HighRockWW Hey Chris. How’s the wife’s ankle? #woodchat

@HighRockWW: @TomsWorkbench @tumblewood it’s the best! #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @TomsWorkbench +1 I say use WTO forums, I’m sure there is (or could soon be) a beginner’s forum #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @BoatworksToday Hey, we all learn something new every day! #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: I like marc’s site. recently got involved with another which IMO has a LOT of politics floating around.. #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @uppercutwood There is also the MWA forum there as well… #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: @uppercutwood But how do they figure out the getwoodworking part if they not part of the community #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: So, there are a bunch of articles waiting for tomorrow… and I’m looking forward to what else comes in this week. #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: And, I’m thinking that we need to repeat #getwoodworking week next year… #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: Absolutely.RT @TomsWorkbench: And, I’m thinking that we need to repeat #getwoodworking week next year… #woodchat

@BillGriggs: @uppercutwood I like that idea. #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: @TomsWorkbench yes indeed. Great response so far #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @benjamenjohnson Ahh, Ben, that’s part of your homework for #getwoodworking week… #woodchat

@thewoodninja: @TomsWorkbench Definitely #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: How about a “finish your woodworking projects week”? @TomsWorkbench #getwoodworking #woodchat

@theboisshop: I think every day should be #getwoodworking day #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: Part of #getwoodworking is to invite others to participate… Teach others about the craft, get friends involved in forums… #woodchat

@Tumblewood: Marc and his family are really awesome people. I think his success is a direct result of that fact. #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @ChrisHasFlair I like that idea… #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @benjamenjohnson well, hopefully they found out about this because one of us told them what to look for and where to go #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @theboisshop Yeah brother #occupywoodshop #woodchat

@Tumblewood: RT @theboisshop: I think every day should be #getwoodworking day
@TomsWorkbench: @theboisshop Rob, I’m thinking it should be. Our blog posts should encourage others to try it out… #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @Tumblewood It hasn’t hurt his appeal… #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: @ChrisHasFlair RT How about a “finish your woodworking projects week”? Ahh, yes, that’s a whole ‘nother problem #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @TomsWorkbench yes #getwoodworking is an annual event i like it. #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @ChrisHasFlair Not this week. Not enough time. But, I think next week #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: Maybe try and organize 1 day a month to get others involved? rather than once a year? #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @uppercutwood Definitely. The number of posts on other blogs has been encouraging! #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @TomsWorkbench Maybe have an aggregate that pulls GetWoodworking tagged post? #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: @BoatworksToday good idea! #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @BoatworksToday Why not? Let’s make it something we do on the first of the month… or something easy to remember… #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @Tumblewood If I could figure out how to do that… oh, I’d be a social media wiz! #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: Possibly have each “involved” blogger organize a differnet theme/topic for each month? just thinking out loud… #woodchat

@IggyMonkey: I think I know what Tom will be doing on Sunday.. He’s going to drink a lot of banana daiquiris… #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: I helpe a lot of newbies @Woodcraft. I can spread the hashtag info around if you think it would help generate followers. #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @TomsWorkbench Marc knows how. He’s doing it for the Guild builds. He links to mine posts about the Roubo build #woodchat

@uppercutwood: I also think we need woodchat, #getwoodworking and #occupywoodshop combo tshirts #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: Maybe a day of the week like follow friday or caturday. Woodworking wednesday #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @BoatworksToday I like it… it’s just that so many people seem to wait on Marc to organize events… #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @ramblinrdesigns I think step 1 is tell those newbies about woodchat #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: @ramblinrdesigns oops “help” #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: Marc has thrown his support behind #getwoodworking.. he’s receptive to all decent ideas… #woodchat

@Tumblewood: I’m pretty much solitary…so, I don’t have anyone to really inspire. #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @ramblinrdesigns Do it! #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @uppercutwood A great point, Matt. Get them involved… #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @Tumblewood Bullshit, Vic. Your work is inspirational on your blog! #woodchat

@kring_l: how about first saturday of each month easier to get someone to stop by the shop if not at the day jobs #woodchat #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: Isn’t your blog a means of communication? RT @Tumblewood: I’m pretty much solitary…so, I don’t have anyone to really inspire. #woodchat

@Black_SheepWW: How is everyone? #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: I am going to be getting much more involved with the woodworking aspect of organizing stuff #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: Another idea would be some sort of chatroom, woodworkers could hang out and answer questions. A lot of software projects use one #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: but just getting a new woodworking site up and running. A lot’s going to changeover the next few months #woodchat

@HighRockWW: @Tumblewood not good…still can’t walk on it. Hopefully soon though. Haven’t been around taking care of her and the girls #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @BoatworksToday Why not? All it takes is an idea to get started… #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @ChrisHasFlair Oh, yea. I have extended family. They like seeing what I’m doing. Mostly I blog to know where I’ve come from #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: RT @ChrisHasFlair: (That was an RT from @uppercutwood) #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: Anybody remember Jamon S.’s design blog that was around a few years ago? #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: The magazines have a lot of pull. Anyone have any connections to get the hashtag communities mentioned there? #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: @kring_l Saturday in the Shop! #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: RT @TomsWorkbench: @uppercutwood There is also the MWA forum there as well… #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @benjamenjohnson I offer up this chatroom for that purpose: http://t.co/pLdjyBxs #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: @Tumblewood Yeah, I sometimes read my old posts and learn stuff! #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @HighRockWW Sprains are a bitch #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @benjamenjohnson But remember, twitter with #woodchat is essentially a large chatroom #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: RT @theboisshop: I think every day should be #getwoodworking day #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: Link no worky. RT @uppercutwood: @benjamenjohnson I offer up this chatroom for that purpose: http://t.co/JK0MiYYR #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @ramblinrdesigns I’m tied in with Wood Magazine, and they have been pumping up #getwoodworking #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @ChrisHasFlair I’m not familiar #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: And then there is google+. I’ll drop a reference to my woodworking circle. #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @ChrisHasFlair http://t.co/pLdjyBxs #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: Starting next week my sign in name is going to be @fromthewoodshop (my new woodworking channel) #woodchat

@HighRockWW: “@uppercutwood: @benjamenjohnson But remember, twitter with #woodchat is essentially a large chatroom #woodchat” and very effective!

@benjamenjohnson: @uppercutwood Link no worky. #woodchat

@InGrainWoodwork: Anyone ever use http://t.co/NDIiankq? #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: @Tumblewood @Torch02 and @SMeekWoodworks will remember. It was a small group of woodworkers helping each other with design. #woodchat

@BillGriggs: RT @MansFineFurn: RT @theboisshop: I think every day should be #getwoodworking day #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @ramblinrdesigns Look, we can certainly work to get folks involved… let’s get out there and inspire folks… #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: sorry for all the retweets, joined late and RT’d all the good point I saw while reading through to catchup #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @ramblinrdesigns I’ve been waiting for some tech G+ is working on to become public. We could do cool things on G+. Shop tours,etc #woodchat

@uppercutwood: I don’t think we need to worry about the technical details, when our barrier is that we aren’t talking to enough humans #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: @uppercutwood This is what I see: http://t.co/58OVedx4 #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: Where to from #getwoodworking week? #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: @InGrainWoodwork I use Lumberjocks for most of my community queries. #woodchat

@uppercutwood: Invite people into your shop, tell them about the online resources you have. that will keep them busy for two years. #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: @Tumblewood It would be nice to get hangouts on air for woodchat #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @ChrisHasFlair oh maybe it’s private, please hold #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: I’ll get something up on the boatworkstoday site, and when @fromthewoodshop comes online it’ll be there too #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: I’m thinking we need to keep the momentum going… Find a scout troop and help them out… #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: RT @uppercutwood: Invite people into your shop, tell them about the online resources you have. that will keep them busy. #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @TomsWorkbench that’s my next blog post Tom! #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @uppercutwood You gonna have it done before Saturday? #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @benjamenjohnson It’s supposedly being developed. #woodchat

@JimAAshley: I’m back finally, catching up on the tweets! #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: That works. RT @uppercutwood: Ok, now try http://t.co/JK0MiYYR #woodchat”

@HighRockWW: “@TomsWorkbench: I’m thinking we need to keep the momentum going… Find a scout troop and help them out… #woodchat” I like that idea!

@TomsWorkbench: Remember to send me any links to #getwoodworking blog posts you write.. I want to pimp you guys out! #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: Remember to send me any links to #getwoodworking blog posts you write.. I want to pimp you guys out! #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @TomsWorkbench I keep one in my basement. oh..wait..you mean..yea.. nevermind #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: @Tumblewood Check out what Fraiser Cain does with it, they hook up telescopes and have a sky watch party. #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @lucaspeters Tell the folks at Wood how much we appreciate the #getwoodworking support they have thrown our way! #woodchat

@BillGriggs: RT @TomsWorkbench: RT Invite people into your shop, tell them about the online resources you have. that will keep them busy. #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @BillGriggs Perfect, Bill. That’s the way! #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: Maybe something VERY simple for a day care? They’re always looking for new fun projects for the kids.. #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: @lucaspeters Thank you! It was a joint effort and steve @MereMortalsWW is very deserving!!! #woodchat

@jmk89: Volunteer at a local kindergarten, church or other organization to donate a piece of woodworking that they need? #woodchat

@Tumblewood: Honestly,my work is SO heavy with contract and lawyer folk,I am acutely aware of the risks of having ANYONE young in the shop #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: The Pinewood Derby is coming up for the Cub and Boy scouts… maybe volunteering to help would be fun… #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @ChrisHasFlair My numbers are up… I’m finding new folks who haven’t been to my site.. and they are following links out… #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @ChrisHasFlair I found a energy twitter colleague follows my blog…weird..cool..weird #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @Tumblewood Good point, Vic… But, there’s nothing wrong with going to a school to talk to the kids #woodchat

@lucaspeters: Hmm, my 5-yr-old just got his first toolbox full of tools for Christmas. I should post a pic of his kit sometime. #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: @ChrisHasFlair I’ve had a bunch of activity on my blog and 2 subcribers #woodchat

@Furnitology: @ChrisHasFlair Are they being read by our target audience? –thats a really good question #woodchat

@BillGriggs: Woodworkers and machinist are crossovers. Especially with CNC Routers and laser cutters. #woodchat

@JimAAshley: @ChrisHasFlair I know I’ve had more hits today than any day in the past. #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @TomsWorkbench ditto me too. My wife posted a link on her blog. #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @TomsWorkbench Yea, you made category for my referrals #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: @Tumblewood wasn’t think having them in the shop, more getting involved with puzzles that are already done and need decorating? #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: Maybe you could do a demo at a local library… #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: That’s amazing! RT @JimAAshley: @ChrisHasFlair I know I’ve had more hits today than any day in the past. #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @lucaspeters yes please! my daughter was sporting her Ace Hardware tool apron #woodchat

@bmorewoodwork: #GetWoodworking Week @ #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @JimAAshley Two thumbs up! #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: @uppercutwood That’s great Matt! #woodchat

@InGrainWoodwork: @lucaspeters I just finished building an all wooden hand plane for my oldest son. If I could figure out how to post a picture… #woodchat

@Tumblewood: Yea.The problem is I don’t like most peoples kids. It seems like WWers themselves, the kids of WWers are pleasant, fun and behaved #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @jmk89 A great point, Jeremy. My son built a rocking horse during Marc’s build.. he was proud as could be about the project #woodchat

@lucaspeters: The kids projects from Lowes are safe for little ones. You can choose skill level. And they’re good for short attention spans. #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @Tumblewood Vic – Last year, I spoke to nearly 300 kids in one day about woodworking.. only a handful had issues… #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @TomsWorkbench with Handtools, but don’t want to house a traveling bench. #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: RT @Furnitology: @ChrisHasFlair Are they being read by our target audience? –thats a really good question #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @lucaspeters are those the red toolbox kits? #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @Tumblewood Nah, Vic, check out the videos of my talks.. no workbench there.. #woodchat

@Tumblewood: Actually, in the future I may want a traveling bench to have for showings..maybe. #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: @lucaspeters I’ve seen them and the “red(something)” projects for older kids #woodchat

@HighRockWW: @MansFineFurn my shop class was all about power tools. How about showing handtool skills? #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @MansFineFurn We may have to do some analytics about this week.. not sure how we would track that… #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @TomsWorkbench I take you back to me not really wanting to talk to other people’s kids..;o) #woodchat

@jmk89: Donate ww books to local library or school library #woodchat

@JimAAshley: Highland Woodworking also has those Wood Man kits. Got one for my son for Christmas, and was good fun building it with him #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @Tumblewood Something to think about #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: What about the other end of the spectrum? Many of our Woodcraft customers are retired and looking for stuff to do. #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: @lucaspeters Yeah, I second those kits. Predrilled nail holes are great! Much less frustration for the little ones. #woodchat

@lucaspeters: @uppercutwood Some are. Some are branded Lowes. They also hold little workshops on the weekend where you can go in and build em #woodchat

@uppercutwood: I would like to find real woodworking curriculum for kids. Real teaching materials. #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @jmk89 Now, that’s a great idea. How many of us have dozens of old magazines we won’t ever touch again. Why not donate those? #woodchat

@jmk89: Our school PTA has a stall for Mothers day – make 50 little boxes for the kids to buy to give their Mom #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: @TomsWorkbench it’s probably doable with someone with knowledge of google analytics (you signed up?) New visitors is one category #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @uppercutwood They are out there, Matt. Just search online… #woodchat

@Furnitology: @Tumblewood Vic, @justindipalma dis just that, a smaller traveling bench for his craft shows, I’ll tell him to take a picture #woodchat

@lucaspeters: @uppercutwood You might try to get your hands on the boy scout woodworking badge manual. #woodchat

@BillGriggs: @ramblinrdesigns Many woodworkers are Senior Citizens but there are also many young woodworkers #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @MansFineFurn I’m signed up.. .I’ll have to parse out the details for this week.. #woodchat

@HighRockWW: @lucaspeters my 4yi daughter has her Bob the Builder tool box in my shop and comes out to work with me! #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @lucaspeters that’s a great idea #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @Furnitology Neil, I’d love to see that design. #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: there may be a #modernwoodworkers opportunity for free kids clinics (hand tools?) #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @uppercutwood Create it! I know you’re capable!~ #woodchat

@bmorewoodwork: #GetWoodworking Week > #SharkWeek #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: And this, my friends, is the magic of #getwoodworking week! #woodchat

@LaMacchiaDesign: #woodchat Hello all! Missed the last few woodchats. Wanted to get a quick hello in. Wednesday nights continue to be tough for me to make.

@Furnitology: Maybe I missed it but I saw very little geared towards kids…guide me where to look #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: I’m a little OCD; let me give this big idea concept some thought #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @Furnitology Excellent, thank Neil! #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @Tumblewood that’s the plan, brohamwich! #woodchat

@IggyMonkey: @TomsWorkbench Way to go, David Copperfield… #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @LaMacchiaDesign glad to see you! #woodchat

@HighRockWW: @TomsWorkbench shhhh you are making to much noise sir…. This IS a library! #woodchat

@Furnitology: @TomsWorkbench I’ll make sure in the next 2 weeks he gets a photo out, proportions are different #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @Furnitology i don’t think it was geared to kids as viewers, but geared towards parents to get their kids off the couch #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @LaMacchiaDesign Hey Joseph!! Sup!?! #woodchat

@jmk89: @TomsWorkbench @uppercutwood Try here: http://t.co/K2aI6mPe #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: and I have a 2yr old; good guinea pig; I mean tester #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @uppercutwood I love you man! #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @Furnitology Sweet. Looking forward to it! Thanks, Neil. #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: bloggers block for a good GWW topic from MFF. Anything missing from the large body of content already written that I could tackle? #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: RT @jmk89: @TomsWorkbench @uppercutwood Try here: http://t.co/h7b1UNmx – great link! #woodchat

@Furnitology: Is there a way of knowing what social media worked best in finding the new woodworker #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: Is this sappy pine too nice to use for a shop project? #getwoodworking #woodchat http://t.co/IFZr7gIq

@3DWoodworking: RT @TomsWorkbench: RT @jmk89: @TomsWorkbench @uppercutwood Try here: http://t.co/h7b1UNmx – great link! #woodchat

@HighRockWW: @BoatworksToday start them out with a toy tool box, they can relate to that and have fun. #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @Furnitology Can you or can you get someone to take extensive shots at #WoodExpo ? I’d really love to see what is happening there #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @MansFineFurn walk through home depot and put together a basic set of tools. show people how cheap/easy to get started. #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: @HighRockWW good idea. maybe a little wood hammer next? why not a set of tools made of wood? (no sharp points #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @MansFineFurn even take them to the wood section, show them the radiata, maple, etc. show them what crap to avoid. #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @Furnitology Good question…hmm #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @Furnitology Neil – word of mouth may help to attract some of the real newbies… and you and the folks at #woodexpo can help! #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @MansFineFurn take them to the finishing aisle, and show them danish oil, wipe on poly, show them what to avoid #woodchat

@BillGriggs: @3DWoodworking That is an interesting book. #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: @Tumblewood @Furnitology I’ll be blogging it Vic, I’m sure @theboisshop will too, and others #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: I think it would be cool as hell to have to wood tool box full of nice wood tools!! (made of wood!) #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: I was surprised at how many finishing articles have been written… Great topic for #getwoodworking week. #woodchat

@bmorewoodwork: Anyone have a woodshop co-op? #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: @TomsWorkbench Is anybody compiling a list of all the articles? #getwoodworking #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: @Furnitology Part of the google analytics includes ref. sources, filtered correctly you can see “new visitors by referral source” #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @bmorewoodwork No, but there are a few in the area.. #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @uppercutwood That’s a great idea. Have a sheet of entry level prices. Because, come guys…this cost even low balling it #woodchat

@jmk89: @FlairWoodworks looks fine, unless SWMBO wants it for something else #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: @HighRockWW @BoatworksToday or build them one yourself, I’m posting the one I made for my daughter tomorrow #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @ChrisHasFlair I am on my site.. Be sure to send me the links to all of your #getwoodworking week posts #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: @jmk89 I only have to answer to myself. #woodchat

@Furnitology: @TomsWorkbench yeah finishing and even one on SEO,etc. #woodchat

@Tumblewood: Maybe someone can see “How Cheap Can You Get Into Woodworking? #woodchat

@HighRockWW: @BoatworksToday exactly! I start a few nails for my daughter and let her try and drive them in or let her paint a board #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: @uppercutwood that’s not a bad idea, if HD will let me film. #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: Yeah, but let’s not start halucinating now! RT @Tumblewood: Maybe someone can see “How Cheap Can You Get Into Woodworking? #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: @benjamenjohnson tweet to let me know when it’s up! #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @Tumblewood An excellent challenge, Vic! Wanna take it? #woodchat

@jmk89: What if you set up at the big box (just next to the local Rotary Club’s BBQ and did some joinery there? #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @TomsWorkbench You got all I had for the week..sorry dude #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @Furnitology A great variety of articles for sure… #woodchat

@HighRockWW: @benjamenjohnson nice, I will have to check it out! #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: @jmk89 Maybe you could join two regular hot dogs into a foot-long? #woodchat

@IggyMonkey: @Tumblewood Shoot, Vic. You seemed to have so much momentum with that first article, I thought you’d have more! #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @MansFineFurn I bet they will, or at least take pictures. #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: there’s enough people here, that are passionate; I think a big idea could have some teeth! Glad I came across this! #woodchat

@IggyMonkey: RT @ChrisHasFlair: @jmk89 Maybe you could join two regular hot dogs into a foot-long? – intriguing… #woodchat

@uppercutwood: Tell them what you’re doing, and I bet they’ll support it. If not, go to an Ace Hardware or Woodcraft. #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @TomsWorkbench Sorry..I’m focused on creating some pieces this year. I’m not signing up for any extra stuff. #woodchat

@WatkinsWoodWork: So what did I miss tonight? #Woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: @IggyMonkey And use a plow plane to cut a groove for onions? #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: @uppercutwood given that I’m there 12 times per week, I think they’ll accommodate #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: @ChrisHasFlair dovetail, half-lap, or finger joint? #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @BoatworksToday Big ideas often start small.. now, let’s see how far down the rabbit hole this leads us… #woodchat

@jmk89: @ChrisHasFlair Using mustard flavored hide glue! #woodchat

@uppercutwood: seven minutes to go, who wants to design the tshirt? #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: Geez, I’m making myself hungry! #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @MansFineFurn take your pile of receipts #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @Tumblewood You talking to me? I thought @iggymonkey had issues with you? #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: @IggyMonkey and then cut them apart on a Sawstop. Er, maybe not. The consequences are too pricey. #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: Dovetail. I don’t think the others would be strong enough.RT @benjamenjohnson: @ChrisHasFlair dovetail, half-lap, or finger joint? #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: Ewwww! RT @jmk89: @ChrisHasFlair Using mustard flavored hide glue! #woodchat

@IggyMonkey: @ChrisHasFlair You had me at onions… #woodchat

@jmk89: It is lunchtime where I am (Sydney Australia) #woodchat

@IggyMonkey: @ramblinrdesigns Stupid hot dog sensing technology #woodchat

@Tumblewood: I love watching @ChrisHasFlair do “impromptu” design. That was a blast and a good experience! #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @jmk89 It’s bedtime here in Tampa… #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: @jmk89 It’s tomorrow where you are! #woodchat

@Furnitology: Will there be a follow-up to get woodworking?? #woodchat

@HighRockWW: Alright #woodchat I have to get back to the wifey! Good night all.

@kring_l: but the glue itself is so tasty #woodchat

@lucaspeters: @MansFineFurn Shameless plug, but it might be a good starting point. Wood’s “Basic-built” toolkit: http://t.co/3nc9nbRk #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: Gotta bail, kids are giving my wife too much trouble. Thanks for #getwoodworking @TomsWorkbench #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: is it odd that I drink more beer during these chats than any other day of the week? ;> Ha Ha! #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: OK, folks. Look for a new post on my site tomorrow.. let’s finish the week on a strong note. #woodchat

@jmk89: @IggyMonkey What would happen if you used a banana instead of a hotdog on a SawStop? #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: Category: http://t.co/nKg0VfNx @Tumblewood: I love watching Chris do “impromptu” design. That was a blast and a good experience! #woodchat

@Tumblewood: I have another hour in the shop…cya! Great hour! #woodchat

@IggyMonkey: @lucaspeters Plug away, Lucas! #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: @HighRockWW night! Wish her well! #woodchat

@thewoodninja: Very good one tonight guys. Thx again @Tomsworkbench for taking the lead on this. You may have inspired the next Krenov this week! #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: So, in summation…Talk it up and spread the word, wherever your connections are and #getwoodworking could go viral! #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: @lucaspeters If I do that post, I’ll reference it, as long as you don’t mind if I disagree on a couple points! #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @lucaspeters no shame at all, thanks for your support. #woodchat

@BillGriggs: Good night. #woodchat

@IggyMonkey: Peace out, homies! This was fun picking on Tom… #woodchat

@kring_l: night all #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: Goodnight, guys. I’ll be around making my Br’all. #woodchat

@uppercutwood: Goodnight all, the transcript will be up within 48 hours. #woodchat

@JimAAshley: Great #woodchat tonight. G’night everyone!

@lucaspeters: @MansFineFurn Not at all. Go right ahead. (post and/or disagree) #woodchat

@bmorewoodwork: Good #Woodchat Now back to work #GetWoodworking

@BoatworksToday: there’s still 2 min left by my clock !! Did I say I was a little OCD? #woodchat

@thewoodninja: @TomsWorkbench Hopefully he/she will remember YOU! #woodchat

@DyamiPlotke: @TomsWorkbench @benjamenjohnson Huh? I thought online woodworking was dead. #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @ChrisHasFlair got a link so I can stalk you #woodchat

@lucaspeters: @MansFineFurn Those are the tools we limit ourselves to for the basic-built projects in our magazine. #woodchat

@uppercutwood: Everyone is going to #occupywoodshop! #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: You and the other 100+… RT @uppercutwood: @ChrisHasFlair got a link so I can stalk you #woodchat

@lucaspeters: @MansFineFurn …basically, tools & materials you can easily find at the home center. #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: @lucaspeters I would only disagree in that when I started, I started with one of those, and accumulated them as needed over time #woodchat

@Furnitology: Thanks #woodchat and Thanks “get woodworking” @TomsWorkbench #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: oh, great.. @occupywoodshop! my wife’s going to be pissed.. Ha Ha!! #woodchat

@uppercutwood: By the way, i think that is 13 straight woodchats since the reboot! #woodchat

@bmorewoodwork: Time to #occupywoodshop #woodchat

@ChrisHasFlair: RT @bmorewoodwork: Time to #occupywoodshop #woodchat

@lucaspeters: Later folks. I literally have to get back in the shop and get woodworking for a few more minutes. Got a glue-up to check. #woodchat

@Furnitology: @uppercutwood 13 straight..not easy!!!!! Frosty would be proud :^) #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @lucaspeters man that sounds great #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: peace out.. Switching channels #occupywoodshop #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: good night all who are still here! #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: g’nite everyone! #woodchat

@DyamiPlotke: @benjamenjohnson woodtalkonline.com is the woodworking forum, open to all skill levels. #woodchat

@WatkinsWoodWork: Hmmm missed #woodchat but for good reason as I was sharpening a few chisels that I’ve overlooked for too long. http://t.co/TWQGvSu8

@benjamenjohnson: @WatkinsWoodWork What brand honing guide is that, I really need to upgrade from my cheap $15 one. #woodchat

@woodcanuck: @Tumblewood @uppercutwood #GWW #woodchat thanks guys, you’re too kind, but Bad Axe saws and plaid shirts (XL) can be mailed to….
