adkinsjd Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Is anyone else on Pintrest? I just started messing around with it, but I think I need to find some wood working folks to follow. So far my friends and family seem to be mostly interested in puppies, lady's hair styles, and food. Anyway, I thought it may be a good idea to start a thread where other folks can put in their pintrest links. I think that it is a great place to help you collect future project ideas, pictures, etc. Here is my profile if anyone is interested: http://pinterest.com/adkinsjd/woodworking/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nateswoodworks Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 My wife likes going on there and has pointed out some neat things, if it is woodworking related I am interested, if it is 101 things to do with twist ties or lone socks I would pass. Just wondering, what is your thoughts on why it would be better to post ideas these vs here,not being sarcastic I was just wondering?

StrangeRANGER Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I started last week and I'm hooked. Every time I see a piece of furniture I find interesting or want to build I just pin it. Not to mention all the other great ideas people pin. Here is my profile: http://pinterest.com/splinters/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adkinsjd Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 what is your thoughts on why it would be better to post ideas these vs here Like StrangeRanger, I've only be using it for a week or so. I am by no means and expert on it, but I see it more as an inspiration source / personal cataloging site. For example, I recently made a coat rack for my entry way. As I was searching the internet for various sources of inspiration, I just pinned various images back to my coat-rack board. What I ultimately made was almost an exact copy of one of the images I found, but I can see for other projects where I may lift a piece of one picture with the trim of another, etc. I think most people probably do this already by bookmarking links in their browser. By finding a few people through this forum to follow, I can get more focused ideas by seeing what others with similar interest pin (vs the 101 things to do with socks as you mention).

StrangeRANGER Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 It can also be a real window into other peoples styles and interests based on the boards they put together, we need to get more woodworkers on there to share.

Tom Zillig Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I click those links and naked gay men pop up. I'm not into that, so I'll refrain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adkinsjd Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 They seem to work just fine for me. The pintrest one will default to whatever is "popular". I haven't seen much nudity on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
