Just checked out both the lock and your scaffold video. Amazing projects.
I don't have any real wood working skills (though I hacked together some window boxes out of a wooden pallet last month). Every time I see a project like this posted I get really inspired and wish I spent more of my life learning this craft.
How would you recommend a complete amateur get started?
- MatthiasWandel 11y agoI get asked that not infrequently. So I wrote about it a while back :) http://woodgears.ca/beginner http://woodgears.ca/beginner
- aidos 11y agoAmazing, thanks - looks like a great resource. The only power tools I have are a drill and a jigsaw, so it looks like I was on the right track :) Edit I could watch these videos all day. So much interesting content - and very much in the spirit of this website (Hacker News). For example, this clip of deconstructing and hacking the doweling jig is brilliant. https://youtu.be/jFPLFyxkhzc?t=2m51s https://youtu.be/jFPLFyxkhzc?t=2m51s
