I am not sure what is required to start a new category. But a few years ago, Farleycat thought we should lighten up a bit and post some jokes. That thread is now approaching 1300 replies. Why not start a DIY thread and see where it goes? I like the idea, I have bodkins from concrete nails and antler, loop spinners from lockset parts and coat hanger, a tying bench from scrap wood, etc.
