Lol, I think it would just be us in that community. The venn diagram of sewing machine operators (in the industrial sense) and people that are on Lemmy is almost two separate circles… That being said, I’ve often wished for a community or forum for us. Somewhere to show off our projects or ask for advice. Really, somewhere for all of us in the industry. The composites people, electricians, systems, welders even. I’ve got a group chat with some of the guys from my apprenticeship and we all do different things but it’s fun to see the stuff we find on boats, and we can ask each other for help if a project gets into what the others know. Which they do since a boat is a holistic thing, your projects are never in isolation.

The school I was working at (where I did my apprentiship) did have a forum, but no one used it so it got scrapped. I think the venn diagram from above alao works for the industry in general. A lot of older folks that can’t be bothered to be online like that.

And windows are fun! They look so nice with the mitered corners when they’re done.
