Thread: Tell me about woodworking

I don't mean to disappoint; I'm in no way qualified to give more useful advice.

But here's a list of websites you might want to save until later.

Amazon has beginner's guidebooks/resource books, also.

Dunno if he's still around, but you might want to try sending a PM to Oneironaught. He was our resident awesome woodworking guy.

i think theres a woodworking forum... i used to be reasearching this same stuff. But i dont have the money for a 2000 dollar lathe

I'm taking Woodworking at my high school, so maybe I can help.

Equipment: You could just have a hammer, nails, and handsaw... but these are going to make work very slow and difficult. We have bandsaws, spinning lathes, table saw, hacksaw, wood chipper, etc., but all that stuff is probably well over $5,000.

I mean, there's really not much you can say. Wear safety glasses. It's all mostly common sense and practice.

Any specific questions?

Try finding a job in a Mill Shop as a cabinet makers apprentice. You may need to purchase tools like a chisel, hammer, measuring tape etc
