50 People Who Took Woodworking To Another Level And Shared The Results In This Online Group (New Pics)

Reddit user u/magicalstickbending is one of the people whose ability you can see in the list. But for this article, let's refer to him by his real name, Justin Roberts. He created the 'Neverending Fence.'

We managed to contact Justin and he was kind enough to have a little chat with us. "Woodworking is a way of life for me," the man told Bored Panda. "10 years ago, I had the idea of making my oldest child's Easter basket. After Easter, we would plant the basket and turn it back into a tree. With willow it's a renewable plant and one can just stick it in the ground and it will grow, you can also harvest the same plant for up to 28 years. This is what appealed to me the most, living as close to the earth and its rhythm as possible. I have been working with green wood 7 to 5 days a week for 10 years now."

The 'Neverending Fence' was actually a commission with permission to play. So Justin did. "We made a metal frame for the arch and reused the previous fencepost, wrapping them with 14-gauge wire," the woodworker said. "Then it was harvesting willow saplings by the roadside and weaving them one at a time. It took about 700 hours or so from start to finish."

"This subreddit is an amazing place to talk everything woodworking. I did not know about Reddit until someone stole photos of my work and tried to say they made it. I woke up one morning with messages in my inbox on another platform saying 'Dude, you are on the front page of Reddit!' so I made an account to reclaim my work."

For an earlier article on r/WoodWorking, Bored Panda also reached out to one of its moderators, Joseph, and he told us that the subreddit was founded in 2008 as a place for Redditors to exchange ideas, techniques, advice, and projects.

Now, it has grown into a 3.2-million-member community and is visited about 250,000 times per day. 

There's one key rule that makes this subreddit unique and it's that people are only allowed to share things they have created themselves. "This keeps our content original and organic," Joseph explained. So every incredible piece you see in this list was put together by a member of the sub.

However, the moderator team reminded us that woodworking, no matter how cool it may be, is not just fun and games and one must never forget to keep themself safe. See this post as “a reminder for the shop that accidents happen.”

Whether you are learning a new language or how to drive a car, increasing your skill set is valuable on a multitude of levels. Woodworking is no exception. It can benefit both the creator and those around them, so if you're looking for a new hobby, why not give it a go? Maybe you'll end up loving it.

It's something that can be applied however you see fit. Woodworking can be a source of relaxation and even revenue if you get good at it. Many people love custom, high-quality furniture, appliances, and artwork, so don't worry about not having a market for your creations.

Also, by building wooden objects from scratch, you'll begin to understand how things are made. This knowledge can save you money on home repairs, which can be quite expensive. Instead of paying someone else, you'll be able to take pride in looking after your household!
