Ever finish a project and immediately ask yourself...

"What should I build next?"

This week we are opening up the conversation to the entire IDC Woodcraft community as we brainstorm CNC project ideas together.

Whether you're looking for projects to build for yourself, gifts for family and friends, products to sell, or simply need a little creative inspiration, we'd love to hear your ideas—and share a few of our own.

We'll be talking about:

• Where project inspiration comes from
• Creative twists on classic CNC projects
• Seasonal and holiday project ideas
• Projects that customers love
• Turning simple concepts into unique creations
• Ideas from the IDC Woodcraft community
• And, of course, live CNC Q&A

This is one of those livestreams where everyone gets to contribute. Bring your ideas, your wish list, your sketches, or even a project you've been wanting to tackle but aren't sure where to begin.

You never know... your next favorite project might come from someone in the chat.

Join us Wednesday at 8 PM EST, live on the IDC Woodcraft YouTube Channel. We can't wait to see what our community comes up with!
