Just wondering what this year will bring for Industrial Tech - Wood?

Any ideas for your major projects? I made a A-frame Viking Tent, a split-top chest Esky & a basic wooden chest with split inside..both these chests were medieval style, so i could use it for Medieval Reenactment that i do. So yeah, i did that last year, was fun to make.

So! Whats your ideas?
