Folks,
Happy Holidays!
I am interested in getting started with basic wood-work -- carpentry as a hobby. Maybe I'll start with children's toys. I'd like to get an overview of tools, work-place setup etc. Any quick crash-courses out there? Any pointers will be appreciated.
Best Regards, Kedar Mhaswade.
Post this question also in another newsgroup: rec.woodworking You'll get good answers both here and there, but probably more there.
A little info on what woodworking tools you currently have is helpful.
Safety should be in the forethought at all times.
None, I think.
I agree. Safety 1st.
Thanks for any pointers.

rec.woodworking
There are all kinds of woodworking skills. You might consider a bandsaw as a first tool--not too much space, lots of versatility, reasonable in price, plus it will always be useful as your skills improve. Perhaps the first project to build would be a sturdy workbench--you will gain skills and have a very useful shop "tool" when complete. Visit your local library for books.
Kedar Mhaswade:
Most colleges will have adult programs in woodworking taught in local high school shops. There are also private woodworking schools if you have a fat wad of cash because they are expensive. Also look for a local woodworking club.
