HELP NEEDED: Name For The "HomeJocks" Site

I was going for Homework. com but it’s not available.

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

Martin, what is wrong with your posting that lists HomeJocks. It sounds good to me.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Great idea, Martin. CastleInProgress.com is available.

-- Please visit me at http://dustynewt.com

shelter jocks dsounded catchy to me but might not be easy to bring up on a search without the word home

Would “Home Handies” work?

gotta keep it simple… but all of my thoughts are taken, even the rediculous ones. Looks like Rob really wants that shirt!

homejocks ain’t bad – but if we’re jocks and the sister site is tenders, then the brother? site doesn’t have to be jocks too…
houseandhomers sounds neat
chezjocks is too weird

but they’re all available.

It’s available.

As to something slightly shorter, I believe www.workingundertheroof.com is available. Not much shorter, but descriptive. -SST
Maybe someone else said this…I kinda got lost in the list.

www.makingcastles.com is available -SST

-- Accuracy is not in your power tool, it's in you

After a slower pan through all the ideas, here, and all the alternate “jocks” names, it seems to me that, while keeping the “jocks” part of the name is intriguing, what makes the “jocks” thing work (at least for me) is pairing it with “lumber”, i.e.garden jocks doesn’t work the same way that things like “steeplejocks” for church tower cleaners or “crackerjocks” for bakers might work. Just an observation. -SST

-- Accuracy is not in your power tool, it's in you

i like crackerjocks… maybe we’ll start a fourth site for bakers and hot shots!

Hey gang. I’ve read them all but now can’t remember what has been said or not… I liked builderbuddies.com too.

How about builderjocks.com? That one is available.

Or, BetterBuilder.com. This is available too.

-- Jeff, St. Paul, MN

How about “wholehomemakers.com” Got a bit excited, so did not check to see if it is a reserved name.

....and so as we continue to search and re-fine a name for a website, let us not get caught in a ‘wooden’ box of our own making and in so doing, fail to gather and draw from the world around us, all that is fast becoming ‘echo friendly’.

One of the things to consider today is; are we as woodworkers fast becoming a relic of the past, due in time to go the ways of other dinosaurs that could not merge with what is happening today in the world of home//house building and user friendly furniture. I for one like to think of myself as a worker of wood…..a woodworker, and so I surround myself with the terminology that represents that kind of thinking, ‘trees’, ‘lumber’ and ‘wood’. So it was and has been an uplifting experience that draws me here to “LumberJocks” and this is great, but now we enter a new area of thinking where ‘lumber and ‘wood’ is not all that is, as we seek to draw many more into the world of experiencing home//house building….

I’ll throw in my vote for HouseJocks.com or HomeJocks, though HomeJocks could be a little too broad.

-- When you give someone a chance it may well be their last.

I just checked this one.

Congratulations! homefixerjocks.com is available.

I don’t unerstand the infatuation with the word “Jocks” for the new home site?

LumberJocks, makes sense, GardenTenders, makes sense (and no jocks) so…. Home/orHouse(__).com?

What makes the most sense? Fill in the blank..

-- Rob (A) Waxahachie,TX

crafters, shapers, farmers, growers..

-- Rob (A) Waxahachie,TX

How about homedresser.com if it is available

How about… www.builditandtheywill.com

haha that’s cute

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

MyCastleKeeper.com as of this minute it is available.

Could also go with MartinsCastleKeeper.com or some other variation yadayadaCastleKeeper.com

Used a little play on words here …

A keep is a strong central tower which is used as a dungeon. Often the keep is the most defended area of a castle, and as such may form the main habitation area

-- Leon -- Houston, TX - " I create all my own designs and it looks like it "

keep in mind for SEO (search engine optimization) that you include the pertinent subject words into the domain name. that way more folks will be able to find the site via a search engine.

-- life can always be weaved into a song.

To add to my earlier one. How about HomeRefurbisher.com This captures all of the things that I think are trying to be included, like building, renovating, decorating and remodeling.

-- Max "Desperado", Salt Lake City, UT

How about home-woodshop.com its available

Right on to the sentiments of Frank in an earlier post. I think we should sensitive to the idea that there can be a lot of creativity in home building and renovating and that’s what would attract me to such a site. At this point in Earth’s history, that would be a good thing.

It’s not just about wood and there is an opportunity in today’s home building to address some of the issues with homes ie: they are wasteful ( energy, resources, land), poorly designed, poorly built and are primarily designed to maximize builder’s profits, not long term livability and sustainability.

We are currently planning a low impact ( resource/embedded energy pov) home from logs and adobe brick with passive solar heat, solar hot water heating and micro-hydro renewable energy. I would love to share some ideas. I plan to design and build this home to be viable for the next 500 years, not 5 or 50.

So, in that spirit, I suggest ShelterShakers.com or ShelterShifters

ShelterShare is available but will cost $1700
