WORKING TIPS FOR NEW WOODWORKERS - Episode 1

Hi. I am woodworker with over 40 years of professional experience. I am
posting this series of episodes to help new woodworkers with some basics
that most newbies are confused about.


Man, this smells so much like Davey...

I once had a guy apply for work who said he had forty years experience
- and he did, too - as a concrete form man. Didn't have much use for
him.

I'd take that five-hundred dollars and buy all best quality hand tools
- the prettiest ones I could find.

That way the kid has a good leg up if he sticks with it and can use
the tools as decorations if he doesn't.
