Plywood furniture: From beginner to advanced

“We have reached the end of the course, thank you very much for accompanying me on this journey into the world of carpentry. Don't forget that carpentry can be a fascinating and very entertaining hobby, but it is not a game. Take all safety measures very seriously. Work calmly and with concentration. If you have any doubts, it is better to stop and pay full attention. I would like to encourage you to create your own version of the project. Dare to explore and propose! In this profession, proposing is key to begin to develop your own language in the profession. I share with you an example of how I would like to see your course project: The design Define your project and study its dimensions and connections in detail to plan your work correctly.

Cuts and guides Make the cuts according to the final detail, remembering to consider the loss of material due to the width of the blade and to consider which pieces need to be thickened. Build the guides as you need them. Don't rush into it, remember that only with reliable guides will we obtain reliable results. The socket Work on each joint as if it were a project in itself, trying to keep tolerances to a minimum. The project Lay out all the components before applying the glue, once you are sure that everything fits properly, glue, sand and apply the finish. As you work through your project, keep in mind that many of the details are arbitrary decisions that can be changed at will. So make every last detail of your project "yours." I'm leaving now, but we'll keep in touch through the forum. As you can imagine, I have a lot of work to do in my workshop, but I'll try to make time to review it and check your progress and answer your questions. Remember that the idea of the forum is to build a community, feel free to actively participate by reviewing your colleagues' process and contributing your own experience. See you soon!”

“Well, we've reached the end of the course, I hope you enjoyed it, take it easy, I know there's a lot of information, we got to know a new tool like the table saw and not only did we learn to make a couple of rectangles, but we made fantastic use of it. Also, my idea is this, to understand that each machine is a universe of giant possibilities that will relate to the creative way we approach it, but the general logic of the craft is more or less this, the way I'm teaching you to work is how you would work in any workshop, it's how you work productively and it works for us, even on an artisan...”
