Where can I ask a woodworking question?

A large woodworking discussion community for builds and technique — with bans on home-repair dumps, AI content and standalone wood-ID posts outside the megathread.

Woodworking questions about joinery, tools and project process fit better in maker communities than in general home-repair rooms. r/woodworking is a worldwide discussion space for woodworking and related making. Home construction dumps, “what is this worth?” and wood-species ID outside the megathread are steered away.

Where to ask

r/woodworking

Best for: Project questions, techniques and tool discussion tied to woodworking.

Why it fits: Its public description: “Woodworking is your worldwide home for discussion of all things woodworking, carpentry, fine furniture, power tools, hand tools, and just about anything else about making - anything - from trees!”

Rules to know before posting:

  • Posts must be about woodworking and include appropriate flair.
  • Unwanted post types include home repair/construction dumps, many furniture-repair asks, sanded-through-veneer vents, AI content, “how much is this worth,” and similar off-scope threads.
  • Behave constructively — personal attacks and sexual innuendo are not allowed.
  • YouTube/shop posters must engage beyond their own posts; safety/gore posts have strict limits; fractal burning is banned.
  • Wood identification belongs only in the wood-ID megathread.
  • Project posts must be original work by you or an immediate family member.

Read r/woodworking’s current rules on Reddit

Before you post

  • Beginners often prefer beginner-focused woodworking rooms for first projects — still read that room’s rules before posting.
  • Wall, plumbing or electrical house fixes belong on the home-improvement where-to-post page, not here.
  • For species ID, use the woodworking megathread rather than a new top-level post.
