I. like. Wood. Just putting it out there. Who the hell doesn't?
Without a doubt wood is the most versatile product on the planet and perhaps one of the most gorgeous too. It can be found in so many various colours, kinds, strengths - and there are a lot of different things you can make and do with timber.
You can basically make anything and everything from a pen, a cars and truck, 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 told that if somebody had actually developed 'wood' as a material it would be prohibited from sale (definitely by the EU). That's due to the fact that wood has so many imperfections. Like hard knots impossible to nail into. And it contorts, bows, shakes, divides, shrinks & broadens! It might be a problem to work with if you didn't understand how.
Thankfully the majority of the above problems can be overcome and avoided if you understand the attributes and how to work with the wood at hand. And then, you might construct something remarkable.
As a carpenter you must never ever be out of work. No expert system, no machine could ever replace or reproduce the skilled work a carpenter can do.
If you are a professional, Do It Yourself or enthusiast carpenter searching for tips and tricks of the trade I hope you discover something useful here that will include another string to your bow and help you attain ever more impressive tasks with wood to impress your buddies (and girls) with too.
