Woodworking 101
Nov. 14th, 2024 09:15 am2024 was a rough start so I didn't make any new year's resolutions. However, any time is a good time for self-improvement and I later decided to take a class in woodworking. My experience is limited to a middle school class and the much more recent project of rebuilding my deck. I know more about the tools than anything else.
To further my education, I enrolled in a local woodworking class. I was the only student to enroll which meant I now had private lessons. The instructor was very knowledgeable and was able to answer my many questions. A simple box was the project for the class. Not very exciting I realize but the goal is to understand core concepts that can be applied to more complex builds. Understanding the properties and nature of wood were important lessons.
I'm not yet certain that I'll truly utilize this knowledge. I had a plan to build a dining room table. However, woodworking requires some considerable equipment investments which are only valued over a long period. Instead I'll try another class with a focus in furniture where I can create a table with the aid of another instructor and have all the expensive equipment at my disposal.
