Hi Matthias!! Huge admirer here in Providence, RI. Your site is extremely helpful, but would you recommend seeking a master to learn from? I feel I'd progress faster as an apprentice than as a YouTube learner. My goal is to do dining tables, bed headboards, fancy boxes, currently I'm just doing picture frames.
Also, that pantarouter is incredible, kudos! When you routed 3 dowels I was very impressed. How did you envision the machine?
- MatthiasWandel 6y agoBeing an apprentice is probably bretter, yes. But I have no idea where you would find a master who wants an apprentice, let alone a master at all.
- dheelus 6y agoParts of Europe (including DE) and many parts of Asia / Japan still have a strong master/apprentice culture.
- telchar 6y agoI recently went to a woodworking show in the mid-Atlantic region. There were some masters there teaching classes who seemed very concerned about traditional woodworking skills dying out - from the average age of attendees I can see why - and some of them take on apprentices still. A show like that would be a good place to look.
