Everything a Beginner Needs to Know


1)You will learn that safety is always first

When you own a woodworking shop, you need to keep it free of debris and clutter to avoid any accidents. You need to always be wearing safety goggles and a mask or respirator because of the dirt and dust that wood shavings and sawdust creates.

2) You will learn how to design and implement a drawing

Even if you can’t draw, you will be able to ‘free-hand’ a drawing of what you want to make and then put that drawing into a sketch of dimensions and come up with a finished project in wood.
