I just wanted to introduce myself and ask a question. I apologize if this isn’t the right place to ask. Anyways, hey everyone! Just joined today and can’t wait to see all the advice and topics on here. Im a 26 year old railroader with two pits and a love for building. I moved about six months ago, and my new place is big enough for a small shop of my own. So the first thing I did was start building a nice stable work bench. I’ve acquired a lot of tools the past couple months making things for other people and things around my new shop. I’ve framed homes for companies and made some furniture back in high school. So I’m a beginner to furniture making. My question is, as a beginner where is a good place to start and keep learning new things and progressing as a wood worker. I’ve been practicing laying out dovetails and cutting them and building small boxes. I was just curious if anyone out there had any advice on learning and becoming a woodworker. Building has always been a passion of mine, and being a decent wood worker is a dream since my first table in high school haha. Sorry for the long paragraph, I tried to keep it short. Happy holidays everyone and thank you in advance for any replies. |
