Edit: If there’s something you’ve made or fixed that you want to share please post. Provides inspiration for the rest of us.
I’m taking the plunge this year after watching enough YouTube videos to last lifetimes. Anyone else build stuff?
I have zero knowledge. Never operated a power tool. My parents were immigrants and didn’t ever let me touch stuff since they were afraid it’d break and we can’t afford to fix it.
Now in my 30s thinking it’s finally time. Signed up for some expensive classes to get started.
Make a wedge table - 4 hours $100
Make a cutting board - 4 hours $120
Fundamentals of woodworking - 2 day all day class $250
My end goal is to really know how to build a house..so i can buy some land and build a small house myself. Live in an apartment so can’t really buy or use power tools in this space. Will continue with different classes for the next few months to get my feet wet and try to go to some Habitat for Humanity stuff. Open to suggestions..
