About Us

We are a woodworking community with an emphasis on sharing and learning the skilled craft of woodworking and all of its related disciplines. Our community is open to everyone who wishes to join us. We support our American veterans and active duty, being a veteran is not a prerequisite to join. Join us now!

The Spirit of Our Forums

First off you'll be a member of a very grown up group of woodworker's where drama is non-existent. Your discussion forum experience will be completely relaxed, and "respect" is always the word of the day. We welcome all woodworkers from every walk of life and from all around the world to join us.

Community Projects

Frequently throughout any given calendar year we are involved in fundraisers, volunteer opportunities in your area, and small arts and crafts project builds to benefit our disabled veterans groups we support and endorse. Participation in any of the above projects is absolutely not necessary. By simply being a member and participating in our discussion forum you are by default helping our community stay live, and by keeping our content fresh and new.

Member Benefits

Frequently we'll have tools donated to our community by our sponsors and supporters, and we'll hold a contest or random drawing for the giveaway. We have had some wonderful items that have left our supporters where-house's destined for a Patriot Woodworker's shop, such as turning tools donated by Easy Wood Tools, hand planes donated by Woodcraft, and more! So what are you waiting for! Join us now at The Patriot Woodworker discussion forum!
Welcome to our woodworking community, and we hope you join us!

The Staff

Objective

Of course just like most online woodworking communities we are centralized in the arts, crafts, and trades that are woodworking. But, we have another focus in our Patriot Woodworker community, we are the only woodworking community that was founded on our care and concern for our disabled veterans.

Mission 1st

• To create an online woodworking community that is sensitive and respective of the men and women who are serving and have served in our United States Military.

• To foster a sense of community that surrounds our common goals of care and concern for our United States Military Veterans.

• To provide aid when we are able, to disabled veterans who are woodworkers, who may be in need of aid in the form of tools, and supplies and machinery in order to keep them in their shops, productive and happy.,

• To raise awareness of the challenges our United States Military Veterans face after service.

• To fund-raise for various veterans charitable organizations through our own auctions and raffles.

Secondary statement

• To provide an online woodworking forum experience that fosters inclusion of all walks, all talent levels, all races and creeds and all people regardless of sexual orientation or lifestyles.

• To provide an online woodworking forum experience that is free of negativity, drama, rumors and gossip, and self-interest topics and posts.

• To provide an online woodworking forum experience that is family friendly, and mature in mannerisms.

• To encourage a respectful and nurturing environment so that woodworkers, both beginners and advanced, and all that in between, may share, learn, mentor, teach, and collaborate on ideas and techniques that encompass our craft of woodworking.

Volunteer

The Patriot Woodworkers are an all volunteer community, from the staff and hosts who run our online woodworking community to the members who frequent our forums, you'll find volunteers in all of us. We are not on a payroll, unless you consider the spiritual rewards gained from volunteering, as compensation.

How you can help

If you are a woodworker, and if you want to help us help our American veteran and honor both our veterans and active duty, then look no further than this online woodworking community, for we are frequently involved in activities and fundraisers to benefit veterans organizations or individual veterans or active duty service members and their families. Throughout the year we are involved in projects that benefit and promote the American veteran and active duty service member.

Education

One of the many projects we are working on is a wiki for our online community. A wiki is a great way for woodworkers and enthusiasts to share their knowledge to others, and to impart their knowledge for others to learn from, and utilize as well for their own benefit. We hope you'll consider being a wiki contributor.

Research

Do you love researching? Do you like to write about subjects in a factual non-biased style? Do you like leaving your footprint of knowledge behind for others to use? If you do, then you should contribute to The Patriot Woodwiki.
There are tens of thousands of subjects to research and write about. Surely there is a niche that is near and dear to your heart that you would love to write about and share.

Just a few of the subjects being written about already in our wiki are:

• Notable people, both past and present in the woodworking arts, crafts, and trades.

• Material Processing, anything that humans use to process the main medium of wood, is being researched and written about on our wiki.

• Dendrology, the study of trees and how humans use this most valuable resource to our globe.
