=> Show Off Your Stuff at WOODWEB's Shop Gallery
In the digital world of WOODWEB's forums, woodworkers have
shared many detailed descriptions of their shops and
operations. Unfortunately, the visual connection was
missing... until now. The Shop Gallery makes it easy to
post pictures of your setup for other shop owners to see.
Snap some pictures of the machine that turned your
operation around, your customized workspaces, even your
faithful shop dog - anything that illustrates your unique
situation. Post your pictures at:
