Talk:Woodworking

Some basic introductory courses to wood work. Techniques and joints to make basic projects. Beginners tips. Those things could be nice for a first course sylabus. Im a beginner ;) I would like to see something like that ;).

Also advices when there is no workshop aviable but only a small set of tools.

Woodwork is something that I shall try my hand at sometime soon, fine woodwork is exciting stuff, how do they make those beautiful artifacts?

My suggestion for a standard layout of technical drawings is a free resource provided by Google, called Google SketchUp. This program is available for download free of charge from Google for anyone. Many woodworking publications are using this program for woodworking project plans, because it is available to everyone, and provides powerful resources for creating three dimensional models, and the ability to produce video of all views of three dimensional project plans. The program is easily mastered by anyone that can use a personal computer and mouse. In contrast traditional drafting can take years to master, and become expensive to scan. CAD programs are far more difficult and expensive. Without a doubt, all woodworkers will benefit from this free resource that can preserve and create a beautifully rich environment for new exponents of our craft.

Subpages
I think that the current structure probably uses subpages too much. Future resources would be better as their own top-level pages I think. &mdash; Sam Wilson ( Talk &bull; Contribs ) &hellip; 08:21, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
