"Critique my work" forum?

[Regis]

Not being near other leather workers or classes sometimes presents difficulties. I've begun to wish I had access to someone to look over a peice/project and offer ways to correct various points that need/should be improved. I know I can post photo's of one of my projects and ask questions like: is stitching ok or asking how to improve curve, etc. But, from design to details it would be nice to get constructive critique of an item. If a forum was set up to do exactly that, then, no one would feel that are brutalizing someone else's work.

What are you thoughts?

Thanks,

Regis

Your wish is my command. Look at the bottom of the leatherworker board forum.

Looks like Johanna took care of that right quick. Aint she something?

On a slightly similar but mostly different subject. It was brought up one evening on the live chat function of this forum that we have some sort of live question and answer session. If a person had a question about how to do something, they could ask and hopefully someone else would have an answer for them. There are a few of us that have been using the live chat somewhat regularly on Saturday evenings. You are all welcome to join us there. It's a good time to ask questions, find out what others are up to, or just get to know each other better. For now, it's pretty much anything goes, but if there is enough interest, we could have chats on specific topics too. I think the live chat is a function of this forum that doesn't get used as much as it could.

Well, that was quick. Thanks. I guess it is only right that I get busy, take some appropriate pictures and start (some time you get what ya ask for) !

Thanks again,

i know that's not the spirit of this topic but i agree with this statement...at one of the other forums that me and johanna frequent...the live chat feature is HEAVILY used for quick question and answers. i could see it getting used here as a sort of "seminar" place as well as a quick "how the heck to i get these snaps on there" kind of things. another feature of the ipb board that most people overlook is the calendar function...users can add their own events to the calendar for scheduling and just general orginizational stuff...there could possibly (with enough interest) be a good method for scheduling chat tutorials etc... via that calendar and live chat functions...i.e. schedule a time for a "class" in the calendar, then make a post reminding people about the chat class...

I like the chat idea a lot for both quick questions and tutorials. I don't know how you would handle the quick questions unless there was planned times when 'someone' knowledgable would be in a chat room. Sure is an excellent idea though.
