carpentry

Hi all, this is my first time here, and I was just wondering if any one had any ideas on learning/self-teaching carpentry skills. I have always wanted to learn how to do woodworking, and I figure that at 37, if I'm gonna do it, I'd better get to it. Any one know of any good books that I might learn from. and also what basics I might need to start with? Thanks for any and all input. Blessings, Love, and Light. cindy

Cindy, You may find some of the books helpfull. any one is pretty much just as good as any other. What you're going to find is that what they say and what you're going to find out are two entirelly different things. Carpentry is more about problem solving than anything else. There are a few joints and construction standards that are universal but it's rare to have two carpenters agree on anything. Luck to you. Gerald

Cindy- "Carpentry" covers

Cindy- "Carpentry" covers some diverse and distinctly different skills/knowledge sets. Framing is different from finish carpentry is different from furniture/cabinet making. If you're interested in finish carpentry or furniture/cabinet making, many community colleges have an excellent wood shop, and this is a good place to learn -- they've got the right tools for the job, and an experienced teacher to guide you.
