    I mean sure but then it sounds like you’re already a woodworker with the proper tools. Most people aren’t that.

      I’m not. Far from that.

      In fact, I live in a country where being a carpenter is not even a hobby and traditional, small scale carpentry shops are very uncommon.

      We had a very strong push to shift the country towards services and white collar professions during the 80s and 90s.

      For myself, whatever little “carpentry” I know comes from personal curiosity. What I do is use the services of a carpenter to do what I can’t, which is usually the cutting and rough fitting of parts, and I do the finishing, like sanding, stain, varnish, etc, which is also the most expensive and labor intense but requires less tools.
