May 1, 2008 | Filed under: Review: Websites | Posted by: Woodworker's Guide

While there are many woodworking sites on the Internet, few offer a free place for amateur and professional woodworkers to meet, chat, blog and showcase their projects. Until now that is! LumberJocks is an online community for woodworking enthusiasts that does all that and more!

The members, known as ‘LumberJocks’, includes both men and women of all ages and they have woodworking skills of all levels. What they have in common is that they love the smell of sawdust, they can’t wait to check out the latest power tools and they have the desire to connect with other woodworkers.

At the time of writing there were 4,291 woodworkers making 201,332 comments on 7,249 projects, 4,385 blogs, 319 reviews and 3,159 forum topics – and these numbers are growing very quickly.
