I. like. Wood. Just putting it out there. Who the hell does not?
By far wood is the most flexible product on earth and perhaps one of the most stunning too. It can be found in a lot of various colours, kinds, strengths - and there are numerous various things you can make and make with timber.
You can basically make anything and everything from a pen, a vehicle, a complete home, a bridge, a PIRATE SHIP - all out of wood! For Christs sake you can even make woodworking tools OUT OF WOOD! For weeping out loud!
Over 20 years earlier during my woodworking apprenticeship I was informed that if someone had developed 'wood' as a product it would be banned from sale (certainly by the EU). That's since wood has many flaws. Like difficult knots impossible to nail into. And it deforms, bows, shakes, splits, shrinks & expands! It might be a headache to deal with if you didn't know how.
Luckily most of the above issues can be conquered and prevented if you understand the characteristics and how to work with the wood at hand. And after that, you might construct something remarkable.
As a carpenter you should never be out of work. No artificial intelligence, no machine could ever replace or duplicate the skilled work a carpenter can do.
If you are a professional, DIY or enthusiast carpenter trying to find pointers and tricks of the trade I hope you find something beneficial here that will include another string to your bow and assist you attain ever more remarkable accomplishments with wood to impress your buddies (and girls) with too.
