What Carpenter Would you like to be?

After many years as a professional carpenter, I think it's time that I'm talking about some of the decisions I faced and those that will face you. My thought is that for those of you who are just starting, you may want to know that there are several ways you could go. You will need to take your own way, and in the light of this, it may be helpful to know that your choice so that you can start in the correct direction from the start. For those of you with a bit more "than the knowledge that it is not too late to redirect their attention in general and discover something new.

To begin with, there are two main areas of woodworking meditate (carpentry and joinery end) and when you have chosen each other, you can go out in the chosen field of study. These decisions should be made not only on what you want to do, but what you can do well. Not everyone is born to play the violin or be an astronaut, but it's the same thing with the wood. To begin with, I encourage you to choose a section of the tree that you prefer, or that fits your goals, give everything and find out if you have the opportunity to go on and be truly fulfilled in what you are doing. If you find that you are "barking up the wrong tree", so to speak, not to go out, just to try something new. If you become proficient in the section of wood carving, it does not mean that you will do well in all kinds of wood.

Using as an example, I soon realized that while I was okay with the leadership, he lacked the skill of the artist. I tried on a lathe, and had a similar result. However, when I started to design and build furniture, using machines, my projects have started so well, I went to do business. In an instant, I had a client in the door and up to seven carpenters working hard to make my furniture design and carry out orders that have accumulated. Speaking of talent, I hired two different types of workers: those who built furniture, and those polished smooth in order to prepare it for finishing. Each of them has its own range of knowledge and all those who worked for me was happy to be in your area of ​​expertise.
