Sawing and sanding Screwing and gluing Any of several dozen books. Take a look around, find one where you personally like the author's style. Robert Wearing's is good. Planeing Jeff Gorman's web site http://www.amgron.clara.net/planingp...planeindex.htm Basic joints Now you're getting into the real stuff. Tage Frid http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1561580686/codesmiths-20 Tools Ignore tools. Everyone gets hung up on tools, when it's the product that matters more. The other books will tell you quite enough for the basics. A few specialist books on tools like the table saw, router or bandsaw will be more use, as you need them,. Varnishing Flexner http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0762101911/codesmiths-20 Don't be too quick to varnish things either - there are many other finishes worth looking at. Etc, Etc......................... You missed out wood. There's a lot to learn about it. Hoadley's "Understanding Wood" is excellent, but hard going. Try an easy start with the October issue of Fine Woodworking - an inspiration magazine anyway. Your first projects will probably be in plywood or other man-made sheets. When you move towards solid timber, then you should certainly study some of the moisture and movement issues. -- Smert' spamionam |
