At the heart of everything we do at Asmbly, it's all about sharing. We are here to share space, tools, ideas, and a passion for creating! We celebrated a few weeks ago at our Brand Rollout Party with a big reveal plus Make Your Own Merch activities. It was a lot of fun and great connecting with members and new friends alike!
We also met new friends at Texas Woodworking Festival a few weeks ago! It was a great event put on by Austin School of Furniture connecting a wide range of folks with a shared interest — a love of woodworking. Lots of great ideas for future improvements and collaborations at Asmbly came about from this event and we're excited to follow up on them!

How do characteristic such as density, pitch, moisture, etc affect gluing?
What should I do differently when gluing end grain versus face grain?
How do I handle glue gaps and clamping for for different joinery techniques?
