Thanks to everyone who submitted their blogs, videos, and social media updates for #GetWoodworking Week this year! Our main goal is to promote woodworking to our community and get new people interested in it.  It also acts as a reminder to people who may have not gotten into their shops for awhile to go out and make something.

@lindsaycremona rocking the gouge like a pro. Must have watched a lot of YouTube videos or she’s just a natural. I’m guessing the latter. #GetWoodworkingWeek #woodworking #woodcarving

May not be fine tools but trimming tenons on a restored 1970s Craftsman cast iron top table saw. A first attempt and fixed crosscut sled, adjustable harbor freight square. Nothing fancy. Just get woodworking. #getwoodworkingweek #woodworking #sofaproject A photo posted by Joshua Mann (@thesaltymaker) on Mar 23, 2016 at 7:06pm PDT

It’s #getwoodworkingweek!!! I’ll be writing later in the week about how my first woodworking project had me restore both a hand plane and old hand saw with 0 experience. Woodworking can be extremely accessible and easy to get into with little cost. #theUnpluggedWoodshop #theUWToronto #woodworking #handtools #Toronto #designer/maker #Leslieville #madebyhand #handcrafted #woodworkingschool
