So you're interested in woodworking but don't know where to start? Stick around!
First it helps to understand there are many different ways to go about woodworking.
One way to broadly subdivide it is as follows:
Rely mostly or exlusively on hand guided and powered tools to create with wood.
Use mostly machines and powered, handheld tools to build from wood.
Take the best of both worlds and combine them to make products from wood.
Spinning and cutting wood on a lathe to create bowls, legs, stiles and much more.
Start with the fresh log and split, rive and hew the wood until the desired shape emerges.
Carve intricate patterns and figures with knives, chisels and gouges in wood.
