Great post Chris. We have all been there. Woodworking is not only a craft, but an art. It can take years to be “really good” at it. Some people have had formal training, others have not…self taught as they say. Some have a knack for it, and others dont. You can still have fun though no matter what category you fit into. In many cases it takes longer to self teach, but many do it. Like some have said, start out simple and keep pushing yourself to try new things. Tools arent the entire solution. Many have a simple workshop, and others a more elaborate one. Keep in mind that not all that long ago, everything was done with hand tools, so power tools arent really necessary. Although I have had some formal training, and I continue to go to classes from time to time, I still watch woodworking TV shows, read a lot of woodworking magazines, and ask my fellow Lumberjocks plenty of questions. Practice practice practice is one of the keys to developing your skills. -- Wayne - Plymouth MN |
