A woodworking community mixes people who have never held a chisel with professionals who build furniture for a living. Knowing who is joining helps moderators assign roles, pair beginners with mentors, and keep conversations about table saws and routers grounded in safe practice. This application gathers that context before an invite goes out.
Applicants give their name, email, Discord username, and location, then describe their skill level, years of experience, the kinds of woodworking that interest them, and a favorite project. The workshop section covers the space they work in, their hand or power tool preference, and the major equipment they can use. A safety section asks about training, regular safety gear, and a commitment to safe practices, followed by community goals, a referral question, and agreement to the guidelines.
Applicants who say they have completed formal woodworking or shop safety training are asked to describe it, including courses, certifications, or apprenticeships. Everyone else moves straight to the safety equipment question, so beginners are not put off by a section they cannot fill in.
