This might have been covered before, IDN.
This idea might get panned due to the pandemic but with some light at the end of the tunnel and things opening up perhaps a little...If you don't agree you don't have to participate but lets focus on the working of wood.
On a sailboat forum I frequent there is a sticky where you can put your location and offer to let people try out or examine products or things you've done. It seems that it is harder to put your hands on some tools to demo, especially large tools. Perhaps a sticky here might be a big help to some members to at least look at a piece of equipment before they buy. Not suggesting letting people come build a kitchen with YOUR stuff but rather just open up the shop and let them look. It's a huge community here with lots of members everywhere and not always in a big city where access to items might be easier.
On the sailboat forum it works well, I've had some members over and vice versa. If not, at least put the location here where it's easier to see where members live so we can invite.
