It seems to me that over the years the DIY forum has mostly been used to post specific questions, trouble shooting one thing or another. I have greatly benefited from this, especially when the questions are about how to actually 'do it yourself'. I have also benefited both from the amateur answers and the very experienced professional answers.
Some time ago, Dave (i think) made a thread for 'the talented few' to show off their work, but that has never gotten much traction. I think this is because most of us who are 'DIYers' feel like 'the talented few' excludes the amateur tinkerer. And presumably the professionals among us don't want to just look like show-offs to the rest of us home-shop hacks...
Personally, I would like to see more project threads, either while in process or after the fact. I would also enjoy seeing what questions / tips-and-tricks come up along the way.
So I am wondering how others feel about this:
1. would you all like to see this forum used for more start-to-finish project threads?
2. how would you all feel about double-gun adjacent posts? ie. would you all like to see posts about gunsmithing projects that still involved wood and steel even if the guns were bolt action rifles, semi-auto shotguns, etc? Personally, I have little interest in seeing posts about plastic stocks and erector-set rifles, but I would be very glad to see posts about any traditional style gunsmithing.
