The "anti-gloat" question got me thinking....

A herd of cattle, a pride of lions, a gaggle of geese, a murder of crows,
rash of lawyers.....

What do we call a group of woodworkers? (Aside from "the wreck"?)

-JBB

PS: I apologize in advance if this has been done before.

I asked my wife. She says, "It doesn't matter. If you have a group of
woodworkers together they'll never hear you over their story telling."

<<What do we call a group of woodworkers? (Aside from "the wreck"?)>>

I have found a "descent of woodpeckers," a "gatling of woodpeckers," a "fall
of woodcocks," and a "chord or woodwinds" but nothing for woodworkers so I
guess we're free to invent our own. Here are a few suggestions:

a bark of woodworkers
a cut of woodworkers
a gloat of woodworkers
a norm of woodworkers
a ring of woodworkers
a gripe of woodworkers
a wane of woodworkers
a joint of woodworkers

Dunno about woodworkers in general, but neanders seem to come
in "porchs".

Actually, if it's a porch of neanders I suspose it ought to be
a "studio" of normites.

H*ll, *everybody* knows that one.

Woodworkers are, after all, a _splinter_ group.
