What makes an interesting thread?

Ya missed a few points that really irritate me. 20% of possible show time lost.

Filler time. They really don't have much to show or tell, so you get maybe 12 minutes out of a half hour. Actually, I think it's less. But then, they shoot -4 hours of video to get that.

You tell me.

To the subject at hand: I think good writing does it. Good writing, good style, good layout (who wants to read a 20 line paragraph?) and decent, maybe even clever, punctuation.

Then there's the visual side of the story. Some guys can take better pics than most. That's the way it is.

Some guys can make a good thread about a pile of firewood.

For me what makes a build thread interesting is it being something out of the ordinary, I love old buildings so those are the threads that tend to attract me more than the cookie cutter suburban garages with chequerboard floors, gray and white walls and matching cabinets. I want to see something out of the ordinary. I love old stuff, recycled/repurposed stuff and so on rather than chequebook builds.
