New woodworker - where to start?
G'day all,
I'm wanting to have a crack at woodworking and need a few pointers in the right direction as I've been overwhelmed with the amount of information available. I'm wanting to start off with a workbench so I can muck around doing other bits and pieces, but I'm also a bit of a perfectionist and get a bit stuck on which joints to use when and why, as in my mind there should be one 'best' choice but obviously that's not the case with this sort of thing - but then also I don't know what 'features' I should be forward planning for so that I can add to it further down the line.
I've picked up a bunch of sleepers and pallet wood off a bloke recently, and it's a decent enough pile that I'm sure I can do something with it, but I guess I don't know where to start - so this is a very roundabout way of asking what are some things I should know/think about before starting? Are there any recommended starting resources to work my way through rather than stabbing randomly at youtube videos and trying my luck?
Thanks all
