Woodwork's fun
Can a "woodwork's fun" be a miniature of a house?. I am finding problems. I am not completely sure. I am seeing a tiny wooden house in the picture. A man is building it. It is like a toy.
The translation in Spanish it would be "diversión de madera". I imagine, for example, that a woodwork's fun can be a house toy
Thank you.

Nila, pero vamos a ver...¿por qué no nos dices dónde lo has visto?
la s de woodwork es un verbo: is fun
es decir: trabajar con madera es divertido
( si no pones contexto en tus posts ...I am out of here
)
I have never seen anything written like that.
When I first saw it, I thought, maybe a contraction for "woodwork is fun", although I would personally would say "woodworking is fun".
As in the craft of woodworking is a fun activity (although that would be too formal for me to ever say).
I speak American English, and sometimes the English do things differently, so maybe someone British could comment.
Anyway, I am trying to find the most apropiate translatiion for "woodwork's fun" and to know if a tiny wooden house can be called like this. - nila45
No.
I'm not sure if anyone else covered this already but woodwork's (in this case) is a contraction of woodwork is...that is, it says woodwork is fun.
You could also use it as a possessive form in a different sentence: the woodwork's details were amazing. (The details of the woodwork were amazing).
Woodwork can mean "the act of working with wood" or "something made of wood." In your sentence, woodwork means "working with wood," but in my example, it means "something made of wood."
When used to mean "something made of wood," it normally has the sense that we are highlighting the skill of the craftsman who made the object (whether his skill was good or bad).
But, both senses of the word could use the contraction with -s to mean woodwork is or as a possessive (depending on context). But in your sentence it must be a contraction for woodwork is.
No estoy seguro si otros ya ha mencionado esto, pero woodwork's (en este caso) es contracción para woodwork is...es decir que la frase significa woodwork is fun (carpintería está divertida).
Es posible también usarla como una forma posesiva en una frase diferente: the woodwork's details were amazing. (Las detalles de esta cosa hecha de madera son maravillosas).
Woodwork puede significar "the act of working with wood" (carpintería) o "algo hecho de madera." En tu frase, significa carpintería, pero en mia significa algo hecho de madera.
Estando usando para significar algo hecho de madera, normalmente tiene el sentido que la habilidad del carpintero es de la que hablamos (si su habilidad era buena o no).
Pero los dos sentidos de la palabra (woodwork's) puede significar woodwork is o el posesivo (dependiendo del contexto). Pero en tu frase debe ser una contracción para woodwork is.
Can this be called "a woodwork's fun"?.

Woodworking's fun - acceptable.
Woodwork's fun - said by someone who's thrilled by crown molding, chair rails, and baseboards.
I think that in the U.S., it might sound better as
?a woodworker's fun/delight/joy
Here are some other ideas:
?Fun with woodwork
?A woodworking delight
?the joy of woodworking
?A joy made of wood
?Woodplay (a play on words that would likely be understood by anyone)
Maybe
a wooden delight
fun with wood
Hmmm, Nila, como no pongas frases completas vamos de cráneo . Eso de adivinar no me va, la verdad.
