All 5 rules of r/turning
- Be nice
Be kind to other redditors. - Required karma
In an effort to reduce spam we require a minimum account age of 2 days and a minimum combined karma of 10. If you're a new account below that threshold, please do not send modmail, just leave some helpful and/or encouraging comments on other people's posts and you'll be there in no time! - No discussion or posting of "
Fractal Burning"
Posts and comments containing or discussing "Fractal Burning" AKA Lichtenberg wood burning will be removed. It is a potentially deadly process and has resulted in dozens of deaths. https://www.woodturner.org/Woodturner/Resources/Safety-Materials/Safety-Fractal-Burning-Lichtenburg-Burning.aspx - No grammar nazi stuff
Would you walk in to a room full of surly woodworkers in real life and correct them about how they talk? Good, then please don't do it here either. - Add value or move along
No shitposting. No bullshitting. Any advice you offer should be based on your own direct experience, or clearly cited if it is not. (E.g. "I've never done one of those but here is a good video from Mike Peace where he goes over that.") We also do not allow experienced turners to bully new turners here. This is not the place to try and build yourself up by bringing others down. If you post an unsolicited critique of a new turner's work, it should be helpful above all else and civil and tactful.
