I. like. Wood. Simply putting it out there. Who the hell doesn't?
Without a doubt wood is the most flexible material in the world and perhaps among the most stunning too. It can be found in numerous various colours, types, strengths - and there are a lot of various things you can make and do with lumber.
You can pretty much make anything and everything from a pen, a car, a total home, a bridge, a PIRATE SHIP - all out of wood! For Christs sake you can even make woodworking tools OUT OF WOOD! For sobbing out loud!
Over 20 years ago throughout my woodworking apprenticeship I was informed that if someone had actually developed 'wood' as a material it would be banned from sale (absolutely by the EU). That's due to the fact that wood has so many flaws. Like hard knots impossible to nail into. And it warps, bows, shakes, divides, diminishes & broadens! It could be a headache to deal with if you didn't know how.
Luckily most of the above problems can be overcome and avoided if you understand the attributes and how to deal with the lumber at hand. And then, you might construct something amazing.
As a carpenter you need to never be out of work. No expert system, no machine could ever replace or reproduce the experienced work a carpenter can do.
