<p>Alan thank you for your comment. I agree with what Jim said. This site is something that is open to us all and we all should take part in it. It is the comments that we each make that helps the Kreg Rep and the Kreg Tool Company determine what we want to see happen. Every comment of a member is important in determing these facts. </p>

<p>Jim asked you to keep coming back to the community and that is what I am asking of you also. Please post some project photos here as we need all we can get. Besure to take photos of the construction phase and even thought you may look at the photos as un-attractive, they are really what we like to see as it is the educational part of woodworking and just as important as the finished product. Looking forward to seeing your work.</p> Alan , well said , this is wh…tag:kregjig.ning.com,2014-11-06:2900167:Comment:6703652014-11-06T18:57:18.850Zjames wilhelmhttps://kregjig.ning.com/profile/jameswilhelm

<p>I missed the start of this discussion, and agree with what has been said already. However, I do have one little bit of additional thought. I also like to see examples of unique projects, those created out of someone's imagination or something out of the ordinary. So even just a picture of the completed project that might inspire someone to try something different is valuable to some of us. Sometimes it isn't the "how to", but the "what to", that people want or need.</p>

<p>Thanks for your input, Michael. We definitely agree. It is very helpful when members can capture as many steps of their build process as possible through snapping more pictures. A single photo is great, but we encourage members to upload their project as an album, and to include as many pictures of the build process as possible. This really helps others to understand how the piece was constructed, especially if a specific plan was not followed. Keep up the great discussion everyone! We…</p>

<p>For what it is worth here's my ten pence worth . I think it would be great for novice woodworkers like me ,to see photos of the different stages of construction of a piece . A visual aid says so much more than words can do . Simple table construction for instance can be very useful for beginners. I have done a couple of projects and showed my build phases in photos ,it really does give people that bit more useful information . Go steady everyone .</p>

I've assumed the featured photo was a means to recognize individuals and gain a more active community which in turn would increase their word of mouth capabilities. I thought the recent contest was a effort to build the forum by having folks comment to place their entry. I do not know what the solution is but I am certain there is a fine line to recognize individual achievements and not to offend those just starting out. That being said, I do enjoy seeing the works of others that post and the variety of beginner, intermediate and the advanced valued wood workers.

<p>Jim I agree with your describtion of what we as a woodworker should stive for. it is so nice to see everyone's project and how it is built. It is a testimony as to the arts and craftsmanship of the woodworker. I too like to help others in their questions and hope to help build their skill level to the highest that they can acheive.

<p>Jim I agree with your describtion of what we as a woodworker should stive for. it is so nice to see everyone's project and how it is built. It is a testimony as to the arts and craftsmanship of the woodworker. I too like to help others in their questions and hope to help build their skill level to the highest that they can acheive. I also agree that more should become involved and not just sit on the side lines. After all it is a chance to develop something that is no longer taught in most highschools anymore. With everyone doing their share then together as a group can help build a woodworking site that will be second to none. I do appreciate everyone who gets involved and as always I am willing to help when I can and look forward to seeing your projects. I very much like to see photos of the construction and how it is done as that is not only inspiring but also educational to everyone who see them. <br/><br/><cite>james wilhelm said:</cite></p>

<p>My sentiments exactly.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Showing joinery methods used in a project build, is helpful to many.</p>
<p>This provides insight for the beginner, and novice alike, as to the joinery method used, to achieve their desired goals.</p>
<p></p>
<p>It also gives the opportunity for the experienced craftsman to offer suggestions for product improvements, in future builds. Such as the selection of choice the preferred joinery for a specific task.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I've seen many hand-cut or shaped joinery methods, that are inspirational, in the end product.</p>
<p>Some of them can only be achieved by the hand-cut method.</p>
