MAR Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I am into woodworking and after I have been working in my shop for awhile, I get the some huge ass saw dust boogers. I will take pictures next time. Im trying to get into it, but i have no experience any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CILONE/SK Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I have been doing it for years. I can tell you that it taes alot of money to buy tools. I would narrow down what you really want to do in it, like turning, furniture, carving. Decide what you like and go from there. I build furniture mostly and can tell you about that if you want.

I want to build chairs specifically. I have a lot of access to tools because my mother makes violins and my grandfather used to do woodworking. The style I would like to learn is Italianate. Keep in mind though I want to do this as a hobby for now, I don't foresee my self making a living off of it for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CILONE/SK Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Chairs are hard, because you have to get the angles just right. You will need a full woodworking shop to make them from scratch. Table saw, Band saw, jointer, planer, router. Also, depending on how you want to join the pieces, you might need a set of chisels or a jig for making mortise and tenons. Look up sam maloof, his chairs are considered some of the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAR Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 i met Maloof a while back interesting person. While his chairs are well designed and comfortable they are not what I'm interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
