    Default What is woodwork anyway?

    I am curious!

    How much wood does one have to work before what one is doing becomes woodwork?

    Is a ship in a bottle woodwork? I think that the ship part definitely is.

    Building a drum kit is because of the stick part.

    Fixing a hot water system? No, but relevant to this forum's renovation discussion.

    The only "woodwork" I've done for a few weeks is cutting up bits of plastic pipe. I am one confused puppy right now!!

    Does it matter as long as we're having a good time doing it?

    Help!

    Woodwork? Wood? Oh, I get it. I always thought it was "would" work, as in, if I had the time, I would make a new dining table or if I had the money I would like to buy a new tablesaw.

    If you use a match to light it then it qualifies as woodwork

    Not really because the word plumbing comes from the latin word for lead plumbum or something and as plastic is not lead it technically falls short of the definition.

    Picking your teeth with a wooden toothpick would qualify though.

    The constant pursuit of the unattainable perfection through the application of mind and body is the highest form of art.

    'Woodwork' is as good a name as any for this state of advanced introspective meditation, although you will often hear of he practice of Zen, the name, as with all things, can only point to the state but not attain it, so the name becomes irrelivent.

    Having a good time in my toy shop and, if I managed to cut some wood up, all the better.

    Or the woodies shop to buy a new tool. Using it is optional.
