Anyone into Woodworking?

[OVERKILL]

Know any good sites for beginners?
I'm looking to build a bookcase.



Thanks

You don't need to know about 'woodworking' to build a friggen' bookcase. Go buy some lumber, cut some grooves, and glue/screw your crap.

Woodworking = fine craftsmanship.

I think he wants to make it look like an adult built it and not a 5 year old.

If your gay, I don't go that way. :Q

If you look like Carmen Electra, I'll be on the next flight. :evil:

If I won the lotto I'd buy my dad a nice woodworking shop (he's in construction so he knows what he's doing) and then I'd spend a lot of time there messing around trying my hand at making electric guitars. That'd be a great hobby. 🙂

The trick with woodworking is having the right tools for the job. And those tools can get mightily expensive, especially if you're looking to build a bookcase that is more than plywood screwed together like Safeway seemingly suggested. In the long run, though, you don't need a power tool for everything, some things can be done with hand tools by the beginner. Also, take notes of family members who have tools that you can borrow, and also consider renting any tools you might need.

http://www.plansnow.com/bookcases.html

That's a good site to check out some plans and maybe see what you'll need, and also to be able to see if it's something you think you'd be able to do. They are cheap, and you might be able to find one for free that you can check out (use a spam email to sign up for the newsletter to get the free plans).

there may be a place around where you can rent shop time. we have aplace back in grand rapids called wood source that has a first class woodworking shop that you can rent time at pretty cheap. its great if you need a spe cific tool for part of a project.
