I got a little cordless drill and I'm impressed with how easy it is to make shelves, racks, and perhaps tables as long as I use metal L-shaped brackets, and perhaps plates or if needed hinges too. One thing that had held me up from doing woodwork so far was learning all the wood joints, such as mortise and tenon and et cetera, which I kept putting off, but now I'm overcome with the urge to do all sorts of stuff given how simple it is with metal joints.
Another thing I like about metal joints for wood is that I can unscrew them later on and reassemble what I'd built elsewhere perhaps without the damage that would've occured from joinery or nails. If the 3mm screw no longer works I can use 3.5, 4 and 5. I can also reuse the wood with minimal damage to it.
What do you guys think? Am I missing out on anything?
Thanks.
