I figured as much, but I would still be very interested in reading whatever you have to write on the subject.
I am considering making my own furniture when I buy a house in the next year or two.
- bradford 7y agoTake a class, get in touch with someone who's experienced. Ideally, re-use an existing shop when you're a novice. I had about 40 hours of shop time with a teacher before I felt comfortable working on my own. Fortunately, you should be able to do this before you buy a house. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to find these services, depending on where you live. Youtube videos and online resources are plentiful, and while they are better than nothing, they can't capture the nuanced fine motor skills that are required, and they can't point out the mistakes that you are making as you are doing them.
